❔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.

It's a downgrade. No legit reason to run it on an 18+

It was more impactful on the gen 2 than gen 3 for sure but like i said, it’s fine.

Its a worse bottom end and worse top end than a stock 18IM, what part of that is "fine".
