Ford just made the subsystems a bit beefier. Upgraded alternator, heavier duty cooling system, added an oil cooler to the engine.

But, mechanically it's the same ~225HP/300TQ motor as a civilian Mustang

Thank You, heard a bench racer say they had 347, which i think is imposible since strokers started getting built around 1999-2000, and where why to expensive for the common enthusiast at that time
