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?

Germany....no comment.
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.
