I'd love to know which actually made it onto which cars. I think some of them made it on to the Capris and others made it onto Mustangs, but not all to any.
* 3.23:1 Axle Ratio upgraded to 3.7:1 (This made it onto '86 Coupes w/Automatic)
* Revised Exhaust Valves & Revised Valve Heads
* B-303 Camshaft (This made it onto some)
* New Forged Pistons with Integral Skirts
* Oil Groove Drain-Back holes engineered to withstand the internal forces
* Wide Open Throttle Cut-Out of accesories
* Modified Caster & Camber (This made it onto all Coupes)
* Increased Suspension Bushing with Shorter Springs & Damper units
* Revised Braking with Heavy Duty Linings & Brake Portioning Valve.
* Revised Power Steering for more feedback
* Replace Rocker Arms to incrase Rev Limit to 7,000 R.P.M.
* Lowered Ride Height (This made it onto all)
* Carerra 50/50 Shocks ( This made it onto All)
That's it! A couple my car has ~ others I do not know where to look for, or what to look for.... Mike or mike
do either of you know?Also I think that there are differences between 84 85 & 86 Coupes
There is also a listing of exterior design elements that never made it! Some we should be thankful for not making it!! 1 or 2 others would have been okay.....maybe!!
One was the seldom seen IMSA-TYPE recessed scoops in the hood and another was a roof spoiler just forward of the top of the bubble-back window, where the top of the window meets the roof.
Another "idea" (BAD) was to use the Mustang hatch and do away with the bubble back window, but that was the very 1st "idea" that was dropped.
Adding Ford Applied exterior paint colors each year was agreed upon, this was done in 1986 on both models. Smoke Grey, Raven Black and Silver Metallic appeared on the '86 Coupes, joining the Dark Blue and White from 1985, while the 'Vert for '86 added Paris Blue & Atlantic Blue & Silver.
THIS LAST paragraph applied ONLY to the Coupes !!
Can anyone shed more light on these?
I will be off site for several hours...back to hospital for review of yesterday's Cat Scan. Yup, I am terrified. It's like "Do or Die day" today, so I may not return until late afternoon EST.
