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.
Mercury Milan
The four-cylinder engine was equipped with a five-speed manual transmission as standard (the first manual-transmission Mercury sedan since the 2000 Mystique), with a five-speed automatic as an option. Through its entire production, the V6 was offered solely with a 6-speed automatic transmission (shared with the Fusion and Montego). For 2010, the four-cylinder engines were updated with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions; the 6-speed automatic on V6 engines was equipped for manually-controlled shifting ("Select Shift"). 
As with the Mercury Montego and Mercury Grand Marquis, the Milan shares its roofline with its Ford counterpart. To differentiate itself from the Ford Fusion, the Milan was fitted with Mercury-specific fascias, featuring a large waterfall-style grille, matte-silver grille trim, model-specific headlamp clusters (with projector headlamps), fog lamps, LED taillamps extending into the trunklid, and a bumper-mounted license plate. Depending on trim, the Mercury Milan was fitted with imitation matte silver trim or imitation wood trim (similar to the Montego).
