they could by option, my 93 fox came with 3.27's stock but it was a special option.

i think it's the E code under the AX tag in your door jam.

On the 94-95 They came with either 2.73 3.08 or 3.27 Depends if they were ordered that way from the factory.

whatcha talking about i get my car sideways in 3rd!

anyways like everyone else said our cars are heavier. might wanna get some gears. 4.10s if its an auto. do a tune up, up the timing, run higher grade. then do the basic bolt ons pulleys, cai, and exhaust.

Sorry for the newb question but how can I find out what gear my 95GT has?

My mustang feels fast cause its the biggest engine car that I have ever owned. (Im coming from a 99LX 4 cylinder contour,daily driver)

If you wondered why they went to a 4.6 from the 5.0 it is because of this...the engine compartment is smaller on sn95 body style and the headers and exhaust are packed in there...I THINK this is why you can only buy shorty headers....and there is MAJOR restriction in the exhaust compared to the 93....but i could be wrong....but yes iv noticed this with my 94 too

Correct me if I'm wrong but the internal frame on the fox platform is the same all the way up to 04? Plus the 4.6 is a hell of a lot wider too.

whats the deal why are the 94 -95 5.0 so slow
my buddy just got a 92 gt and it feel faster then mine idk what i should do
im buy a turbo this summer and a new intake man. i hope it work

why whould they make it slower ?
thanks you
if you still have the stock heads on it, that is why your car is slow. spend some money on some edelbrocks, or afrs, both of those fit on your engine without any problems andwill provide a significant increase in power. those are just a couple of suggestions, look around for what would best suit your needs for the car
