RE: Thinking about buying a 1982 GT
there is a year i think both a underpowered 5.0 and a 4.l were offered and i think it was 82, i know for a fact though in 80 and 81 there was no 5.0 stang stock, so it may be a4.2 or a 302 drive it u can find out easily, or use the vin and vin decoder to tell what the motor was factory, those early years where the worst till 85 or 86 the stang didnt come with even 200hp it was like 175hp mostly, svo's where the only good thing back then, but u can put anything in anything so if the price is right.....

I recently bought an '82 GT and I'm happy with it too. Completely stripping the thing down to make an autocrosser. They have the 2-barrel carb 302 rated 160 hp 240 torque from the factory with a 7.5 rear with 3.08 gears. 4-speed tranny. Most parts from later foxes will fit the '82. To use any fox exhaust all you need is to swap to a double-hump tranny crossmember because it came stock with a single exhaust. I love the look of them too, only the 79 cobras and the 82 gt's look like it so it pretty unique

u think its a 302 and it is a 302 block but it is a de stroked 302 block with differant rods and crank soits a 4.2l v8 rated at a losy 120hp..... a 92 or 93 4 banger will beat that car by a good couple car lengths since they made 107hp at half or more the engine weight, hp-weight ratio . u cant tell its not a 302, it has everything 302 about it headers, heads are the same , cams,starter, alt, buy if its auto it has a wierd longer bellhousing on the tranny. i had a 80 gia 4.2l it was a turd my 86 notch was faster as a 4 banger 4speed, and my 93 sure as hell was,run!!! if u aint already. i dont even believe they badged a car as a GT in 80-82, anyone know for sure on that???
ps it doesnt weigh that much less than any other fox, im not sure thats even the lighter year one
