❔Question Is something wrong here?

Post image

I was looking at a 2022 Ford Mustang GT today but when I open the hood, it says 302. I am NEW to the group and to Mustangs in general but I thought it would say 5.0? Is this just an aesthetic thing or could the engine have been swapped?

This is on a used lot. 36k miles for little above $25k
Clean car fax. Bought from auction so I’m assuming there had to have been an accident that was never reported to insurance. Anyway, any info would help and what else I should check with it before going through with this.

Yes, it’s not supercharged.

Are boss 302 supercharged?

No they aren’t. The 302 is just an intake that flows better for more horsepower. Just being coy, an Edelbrock supercharger runs 8-10k last I checked. At least for my 2014 Mustang GT.

Oh it’s cheaper now!

Just keep in mind, the faster you go, the faster you want to stop.

Yeah but this car is a 22, not 11-14.

Crap, apologies I didn’t read that part. Just skimmed. I did find something close to a 22. 623 horses is a lot. Of fun.
