Open the hood of a V8 Mustang from 1964 to 1992 and if was not one of the pay to play "special models" it had a 289 or 302.
Open a hood of a GM V8 from base transportation to high performance it had a 350. The question is not why I'm comparing a 302 to a 350, the question is why Ford for 40 years thought a 2 bbl 302 was "good enough".
The current part of this thread were late 80s 5.0 vs IROC which ahem came with a 5.8, it is not my fault the Ford's only reply was a 300 HP 5.8 or 351W at a limited production high dealer mark-up price point (sounds all too familiar don't it), how many were sold? 300. LOL dough I could have got a Firehawk!

How many 351 Windsor Mustangs were ever made, AFAIK the vast majority of them were 2bbls, Outside of 300 Cobra Rs, there was a single year 1969 with a heck of small 4 bbl on a 351W, As Ford new the motor was a joke.... Nobody at any time was shaking in fear because a 351W showed up to the party.
