Here is tag from a similar Manguta with 302 of 1968 vintage.

tag reads as follows: 302 (uh!); C engine plant : Cleveland ; 68 model year ; 1 change level
8G Prod date: 8=1968, G=Jul ; 283 = 302 cu.in. with F4 (ford 4 bbl carb) part list 60.5 ; J (for 1968) it's the Mustang only engine .... 10:1 comp ratio 235hp@4800rpm 310ftlbs@2800rpm, head volume 52 or 55 cc

So difference is really the final ratio and weight of car. Mangusta has a 5th gear OD of 0.85 and final drive ratio 4.22 weight 2915 lbs . Mustang had 3 sp (no OD) and rear end ratio 3.25 weight 3420
