Sadly the 78 Mustang II's made only 139 horsepower stock, not sure on the torque though(I'd imagine in the 230-250 range though). With that said, your mod list is pretty light, so I would say you'd make about 170rwhp, MAX!

take it to the track and run it, there are way to many variables to calculate the rwhp it has, ET will tell a better truth

I had an 82 capri, the 5.0 back then was rated at 160hp

yeah, id imagine not much, those things were massively underpowered, also, FYI, theres a Mustang II Subsection of the classic section, in case you didnt know

Here is how this conversation should have gone....

OP:"I just bought a 1978 Mustang 2!"
Entire population of MF: "wow dude... were sorry!"
