I know 94-95 it was 215. I owned one 
and they are dogs in bone-stock trim.

I believe the gears are 2.73 if you have a five speed and 3.08 if it is an auto.

Doesn't really matter cause everyone knows the 96-98 stangs WERE and ARE a fucking joke. I can say this proudly cause I got me a 98', and in stock trim, they are shitty. Wouldn't recommend gettin one to anyone looking for perfomance. Takes alot of work and $$$$$ to really wake em up. I got mine cause I love the sn95 look, but sometimes I wish it had a better built motor. The 2000 Camaro v6's come wit 200hp at the crank.[ March 25, 2002: Message edited by: MR. STALLION ]

Its the damn head they suck!!! Is there any company making heads for them yet. From what I have heard that there is no one making heads for 96-98 that arent much better then the stock ones??? I know a lot of poeple talking about doing the 99 head set up but is there any other ways to go other then that?
