Description

When considering an engine replacement for your 1988 Ford Mustang, one often overlooked factor is the exact engine configuration and mileage, which can significantly impact performance and longevity. This listing offers a 2.3L engine, identified by the VIN's 8th digit 'A' and a displacement of 140 cubic inches, ensuring it matches the original specifications for your vehicle. With only 199 miles recorded and described as having "ran great," this engine presents a strong option for those seeking a reliable power unit. Note that the power steering pump and bracket have been sold separately, so you will need to verify if your setup requires these components or if you already have them available. This engine is graded A, indicating excellent condition according to the seller's assessment. However, it is important to confirm compatibility with your Mustang's specific model and any modifications that may have been made. Comparing this engine to others involves checking the exact VIN code, mileage, and included components. Since the seller notes the power steering pump and bracket are sold separately, be sure to factor in the cost and availability of these parts if your vehicle requires them. The seller's stock identifier for this engine is MUS15, which can help in tracking and communication during your purchase process. For further inquiries or to explore more options, consider browsing additional Ford parts or Mustang parts to find complementary components or alternatives.
