Ford Mustang
Engines for the 1974 models included the venerable 2.3 L I-4 from the Pinto and the 2.8 L Cologne V6 from the Mercury Capri. The 1975 model year reintroduced Windsor V8 that was only available with the C-4 automatic transmission, power brakes, and power steering. This continued through production end in 1978. Other transmissions were the RAD 4-speed with unique gearing for all three engines, and the C-3 automatic behind the 2.3 L and 2.8 L. The 5.0 L designation was not applied until the 1978 King Cobra model. All 302 equipped Mustang II's, except the King Cobra received an updated version of the classic Ford "V8" emblem on each front fender.
Ford Cortina
The early Mark III Cortinas came with the same 1300 and 1600cc engines as the Mark II Cortinas, except for the 1600cc GXL. These engines are known as the Kent, crossflow engine or over head valve (OHV) engine. There was also the introduction of the 2000 cc engine, the single overhead cam engine, now known as the Pinto engine. The OHV "Kent" unit was fitted with a single choke carburetor and was used for the early models up to GT trim, the SOHC twin choke carburetor "Pinto" unit was used for the GT and GXL models. The GXL was also offered in 1600 in the later Cortina Mark IIIs.
