FORD IDS 86 2014 MUSTANG MANUALS

The 7.5вЂі rear-end was eliminated in V8 models in favor of the stronger 8.8вЂі rear-end, with the 7.5вЂі relegated to the 2.3L (SVO included) and 3.8L applications. In 1986, the Mustang GT saw an updated drivetrain including a new 10.5вЂі (from 10вЂі) clutch. Even though the SVOs are only available from 1984 to 1986, 9,844 are made. The Mustang SVO era concluded partially because of the 5.0L, which already offered V8 performance at a lower price but with these 1986 upgrades was clearly the better car all around. Clutch size was increased by half an inch.В V8 models of the LX and GT additionally receive nitrogen-charged gas struts and shocks and a heavier duty rear axle. Other mechanical changes included having the rear axle converted to the stronger 8.8вЂі from the 7.5вЂі previously used. This year real dual exhaust was introduced and now there were two catalytic converters so each engine bank featured its own exhaust right to the tail pipes. Changes to the engine block were made for strength and durability. Horsepower dropped by 10 hp to 200 hp, but most pundits agree it was a better engine all around. The addition of sequential electronic fuel injection was added to the 5.0L H.O V8 engine and made a big difference. The V-8 switched to fuel injection in 1986. The 2.3 SVO engine lost 5 horsepower and dropped to 200. The standard 2.3 liter inline 43 cylinder remained at 88 horsepower, and the 3.8 liter V6 was 120 hp. The list of available engine options changed slightly, but the engines themselves, in the case of the V8вЂ™s were the big news. The only significant change to the interior was one for the 1986 Mustang GT enthusiasts, who now had the option of two colors if they ordered the optional leather seats. The most notable exterior change is a Center High-Mounted Stop Light which was a safety measure. The 1986 Mustang was again one of minor exterior change. The GT as always was still available in every style you could want as long as you didnвЂ™t want a 2 door version. The LX was available in coupe and hatchback versions and convertibles. The old base Mustang вЂњLвЂќ was no more and instead we got the LX and the GT.
