RE: 1969, 390 GT Mustang Engine
By hawkrod - 03/19/2002 10:24:03 AM; IP 198.81.17.173
well, i am not positive about the production line, i made an assumption since you identified it as a GT engine and i know they did not make the cougar and mustang at kansas city. as far as IP is concerned it refers to the engine emission system and means improved performance. the 68 mustang type 390 engine had a new intake manifold design with an autolite 4300 carb. the cam and distributor were also redesigned to reduce emissions. the engine is virtually identical to a 68 GT engine except for the cam, dist, intake, and carb. by redesigning the engine components they were able to eliminate the thermactor parts (probably a cost cutting move as well as taking a little thunder from the 390 to help keep it from competing with the CJ on the sales floor). hawkrod
