Post What the heck is a 255 V-8

I found junked 1981 Mustang GLX. I was going to buy it a use it as a parts car for my V-8 swap. But I ran the VIN and found out it is a 4.2 liter(255cid). About all I know about them is that they make 120HP. Are they a de-stroked 302 or something. Can I bore it or stroke it back to a 302? Is the intake, distributor, heads, exc. interchangeable with a 302? Can I make any sort of power with this engine?
