I assume you'd know if you had a 5.0 V8 or not, and that since you don't mention that, it is not. The other regular option then was a 2.3L 4-cylinder... Which was my first Mustang, whew 20 years ago now...

Aha... Yes, there were indeed LX 5.0s... I believe the difference was in appearance, the LX 5.0 did not have the ground effects and spoiler that the GT had, among other possible differences. Also, I think the LX 5.0 was available in hatch and coupe, while the GT was only hatch...
