Ford Mustang Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1974–1978) — Second Generation
The second-generation Ford Mustang moved onto a smaller, lighter platform, sold as a notchback Coupe or a practical 3-door Hatchback. Here is what its powertrain choices mean once you are behind the wheel.
Each Ford Mustang engine in this generation runs on gasoline and drives the rear wheels, so character comes down to how the torque is delivered. The 2.3 AT keeps things relaxed with a four-cylinder and automatic, while the 2.8 MT and 2.8 AT add six-cylinder smoothness with your preferred transmission.
