Back then Ford spoke about the matter.......it was just a tad more than a book note.I found this article on the Ford Probe, and found other similar articles describing how Ford wanted to morph the Mustang into a FWD car with either an inline 4 or V6 engine. But it then became a whole new car line called the Probe after Mustang enthusiast convinced Ford to keep the Mustang what it was.
I could not find anything saying a FWD Mustang was planned to have a V8 of any size. The whole concept of Ford neutering the Mustang into a FWD car with a 4 or 6 cylinder was because of high fuel costs at the time.

It's a Great thing that the Powers at Ford back then didn't prevail.
It's time for the mod motor to be put to rest.....
I'd prefer that Ford opened up the bore spacing on the Coyote design.
If not, then the 7.3 will do just fine.
