Ford Mustang Service Manual: Engine (Installation)
Engine
A modular engine is built around four modules:
- the intake module
- the cylinder head module (RH)
- the cylinder head module (LH)
- the lower engine module
While not all repairs can take advantage of the modular concept, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit due to the reduction of necessary time and labor.
The basic engine components consist of the following:
- single overhead camshafts
- two valves per cylinder
- sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
- aluminum cylinder heads (6049)
- cast iron, 90-degree V-shaped cylinder block
- individual ignition coils for each spark plug
- composite-material intake manifold
- large-bore throttle body
