Exactly. My 1988 Ford Bronco has a Mustang engine. I ordered my Bronco from the factory, so they couldn't hold up production on it. However, that year, they ran out of the engines they used in the Bronco & F-150, but apparently they had a lot of the Mustang engines sitting there. So there are differences in my Bronco that aren't "normal", such as a dual drive chain, and something about a 'roller block' - I have zero idea what any of that means though, just that I always have to give the VIN # to get parts, and half the time once they look up the part by VIN # the guy at the parts counter will comment to himself about being a different engine than normal.
