Correct. The fuel injected version (which was finally implemented due to government regulations) increased that 351 Windsor to 200 Hp. But mid 1980 trucks (and SUVs) and the Mustang still got the obsolete technology engine.
BTW, the first 1986 Ford fuel injection was throttle body. I never heard of Fords with sequential that early.
Ford 351 was popular with police. Because an equivalent engine, transmission, and other parts in Chevy Caprices failed so often. One police department had a pool on which Caprice transmission would fail next. It was not that the 351 was so good. It was that the other domestic automakers were so bad.
