Uh, mustangs have had 4C 32V engines since 1993.

1995. IIRC, 1994 was the only year of the rounded body style Mustangs with the old 302 pushrod motors.

No 32 valves in 1995 either guys. Ford never did a 32-valve V8 for the Mustang.

Chevrolet did for the Corvette. The LT5.

Default Mod motor

Picture quality sucks. But you can see the resemblance to the 32v Porsche motor in this pic. Amazing that Porsche was doing this over 20 years ago....

Okay but it's still not 32-valves hence those rocker arms in the picture.

For somebody claiming to be a muscle car expert, you know jack.

Mod motors started in Mustangs in 96. 4-valve mod motors started in Mustangs 1996.
4-valve

The 4-valve DOHC version of the Modular engine was introduced in the 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII. The 1999 and earlier engines featured an aluminum block cast in Italy by Fiat subsidiary Teksid S.p.A. The engine was revised for 1999 with new cylinder heads featuring tumble-style intake ports, new camshaft profiles, and an improved, fixed runner length intake manifold. These changes resulted in more power, torque and a broader powerband.

Scroll down to the 4 valve section, which was first installed in the Lincoln Mark VIII in 1993. The Cobra and Mach 1 were the only Mustangs offered in a 4 valver though.

I don't know mustangs. My family never buys Fords because they fall apart on us

They still didn't use the 32-valve in cars earlier than 1996 at least not that I know of in production cars.

Be careful backtracking so fast. We'd hate to have you trip, fall, and cause more brain damage.

Okay, show me a '95 Mustang with a modular motor in it then, stock. At least I now know the newer cars have a 32-valve block in it.

SN95 is a misnomer. They started in 96.
