I was surprised to learn fox's came in 6 cylinder options also.
When I used to go to a store for a part, they ask 4,6 or 8 cylinder...I always wondered why they asked 6 cylinder.
Must be rare to find one also..

Never heard or seen a str8 six in a fox, but the V-6's were available from 79-86....they were garbage but were available along with the 2.3 4 cyl.

wow I never knew this...you know your stangs, I got this from the Mustang Monthly site.. "Production and supply problems with the 2.8L Cologne V-6 put Ford in the position of having to return to the Mustangs original six-cylinder power plantthe 200ci inline six. The 200ci six actually returned late in the 79 model year in a few units and continued in service through 1981."
