The engine might be similar, but probably not the same. The difference would most likely be in the cam, heads, and possibly the tranny and rear-end gearing. All these things can be switched to make it basically the same if you are so inclined.

A 1990 mustang would have hydraulic roller lifters, and so would be a little more potent of a performer.
