5.0 Redesign by Mitsubishi Motors

I don't know which one and never actually heard of that. I don't think Mitsubitisi had anything to do with the actual engine, but may have had a hand in the fuel injection system; I wouldn't doubt.

Very interesting! more information please!

Blasphemy!

. What is the history of the Ford Probe?

A. Contributor: Erik Van-der-Mey (erik@webcentrix.net) In the early 80's there was speculation that gasoline prices would exceed $2.50 per gallon. In response to that, a more fuel efficient replacement for the Ford Mustang was developed in conjunction with a small sport coupe designed and built by Mazda here in the U.S. As the release date grew near for the ÒnewÓ Ford Mustang, gasoline prices were as low as ever and Mustang afficinados voiced their displeasure with a small front-wheel drive replacement. In response, Ford kept the Mustang as is and released the Ford Probe as an additional model to its lineup. The Probe proved to be an instant hit, and Mustang sales were as strong as ever. Two cheers for Ford for bringing us the Probe and keeping the Mustang. The design for the Probe can be traced to to concept design vehicles named Probe I, II, and III If anyone has photos of these concepts, please e-mail me (erik@webcentrix.net)
