Default Valves

New to Mustangs here. Hoping to get a GT soon and you will probably see me asking a bunch of questions. Thanks in advance!!

Anyway, do all GT's have 3 Valves per cylinder or am I getting this wrong. Can someone explain this and what the V6's have?

Welcome, Yes all GT's have 3 valves per cylinder, (not sure if it's 2 intake, 1 exhaust or 1 exhaust, 2 intake) v6's have 2/cylinder.
