questions for beginner

To answer your first question, its commonly assumed that because the 93 5.0's were rated with less power that they are significantly slower. this is untrue. in 87 when ford changed the body style and the H.O. engine, they tested it for PEAK horsepower. Instead of testing each year after that, they just carried over the statistics. In 93, after a few changes had been made to the 5.0's of the past 6 years, they tested the 5.0 and changed the way they measured horsepower by measuring AVERAGE power, thus the lower numbers. But really there is almost no difference between 92, and 93. To answer your second question, all gt's came with power everything. Some lx's came with power windows and doors, you just have to find them.
