Which Euro engines are you speaking of?

The Euro L received a bone-stock 351C, exactly the same as the US-market 
L-model, complete with all smog gear etc.

The GTS was a more expensive car, and with good reason.   Besides the 
various trim and paint differences, the GTS was often (though not always) 
equipped with a Ford Boss aluminum intake manifold, Holley 650 double-pumper 
carburetor, and GTS exhaust with large-tube headers instead of the standard 
Pantera manifolds.   These modifications were good for a noticeable horsepower 
improvement.
