Ahh, the much maligned Mustang II. I think the Pinto association, the first Mustang with a 4 cylinder, anemic V-8 (previous car had 351) really set the Mustang II back. However, today there is a certain charm to the car, - just like there is with the Pinto.
The V-6 at the time was not the mileage of the 4 cylinder, nor the power of the V-8. Today it is about the narrowest V-6 engine I can recall. It found its way into many a tight engine swap. I find it cool that today we can appreciate something that in its day was less thought of. I'm sure the V-6 Pinto owners here can appreciate the article.
