Unit 5302 responding, sorry for the delay, I must have been at the equivelent of the internet doughnut shop.

Here's how it worked.

1985 GT 210hp,260lb/ft manual
1986 GT 205hp,280lb/ft manual (tq is iffy?)
1987-1992 225hp,300lb/ft
'93 GT & LX 205hp,285lb/ft
'93 Cobra 235hp,280lb/ft
'94-95 GT 215hp,285lb/ft for the auto's
'94-95 GT 225hp,300lb/ft for the manual
'94-95 Cobra's 245hp
'95 Cobra R 280hp,340lb/ft
'96-97 GT 215hp,285lb/ft (all)
'96-98 Cobra 305hp
'98 GT 225hp
'99-01 GT 260hp
'99 & '01 Cobra 320hp

If there aren't any torque numbers, I'm not absolutely positive on the torque output. I think the new GT has like 310lb/ft and the new Cobra's have the same, I'm not sure though. The other DOHC Cobra's had like 300lb/ft.

All the hp numbers should be correct though.

Except for the fact that none of the 5.0's were rated after the '87 motor, until the '93, which they said the 205hp rating reflected the change in measuring from the highest output to the average output of the motor, which is a load, because as most people know, the 5.0's dyno pretty close. In reality, it's more likely the reflection of different computers, the addition of MAF, cam revisions, and other little changes. It's more likely that really the MAF cars had 205hp,285lb/ft, but since the numbers were never released from Ford, it'd be hard to truely "prove" this. I can only lend to the idea, the SD cars usually run 2-3 tenths quicker in stock form, which would indicate they have around 20hp more under the hood.
