Mustang 2.8 V6 papers question
Hi Gents, I have recently acquired a 2.8V6 engine from a seventies Mustang. I need this engine for another Ford, and found the literature a little confusing.
These engines should have 79kW which is in Germany 107hp. But other literature says it has 85kW which is 115hp accordingly.
I can drop this engine into my car without modifying the brakes if I can prove 79kW, Does anyone here have such a car with the 79kW are in the papers?
I would be very grateful if I could get a photo of these papers. Thanks in advance!

I'm curious.
Why would you need to modify your brakes for 8 HP?
That's an absolutely insignificant HP difference, especially when you are talking 107HP vs 115HP.
Do you have an inspection criteria that you must meet in your locality?

But in the meantime I found a helpful soul who bravely emailed me a photo of his papers, I showed it to the tech inspector and he wrote 107HP.
