Holy crap its like they dont move. I took the mustang out for a quick drive and happened upon a run of the mill fox mustang. He looked at me gave me a thumbs up and floored it. Well a lot of black smoke came out and he was off........ kinda. I was in 3rd at about 35 mph and just drove around him, there was certainly no need to downshift. Man I remember when those were fast. Definately nothing to brag about.

85mustang351

No clue. The guy who built it thinks itll go 11.70's with him in the seat but i just havent had time to get it go the track. there are only 3 tracks within 45 minutes of me. I pretty much got it done and stuck it in the garage.

Yea they dont split near *** easy as 302. Is that 292 cam roller? Im interested I like simple set ups like yours they are the most fun

Im pretty bored with it tho. One of my buddies and I just built a 455 for my friend and he is restoring a 72 cutlass. Thats a lot more fun. this is my 3rd mustang but im thinkin Id like to try my hand with a mid 60's fairlane.

Old school flat tappet. Its gotta go. I ran outta cash at the end of my build, lost my job so that was what I went with. It does sound pretty good tho.

Fairlane with efi 302ho or efi 351 and a five speed would be sweet! Im not the greatest with carbs. Kinda before my time. I was born the last year for a carbed fox lol

yea retrofit link bar lifters are like 350. Crazy

85mustang351

Im only 3 years older than you lol. Im not smart enough to play with fuel injection. Most the ford guys in my area are old school guys so thats the direction that I went in. Although I would kill for something like your building. An eleven second daily driver would be freakin sweet.

LOL at the slow 5.0, that's how I remember them. But comparing to tody's tech almost all that old stuff is slow.

Roller conversions can get pricey.

Notch and I did a run once in his car when it was a bolt-on 5.0 where he made me stay in 4th gear from a 30ish roll. He rowed his gears.....I'll let him tell the outcome.

The wifey is cool but not that cool lol

85mustang351

Say it aint so notch! Thats rough man, i can definately believe it, that thing i ran into couldnt beat the wifes honda.

What you talkin bout? Fuel injection is easier, just takes a bit to acclimate yourself to it......I'm not smart enough to fool with carbs.

Actually I am but I really really hate them.

85mustang351

Im no mechanic man. My stepdad is an old school mechanic and one of my best friends is an old school mechanic so they know carbs and work for free. I had a 4.6 back in the 90's early 00's and when something went wrong with it i wanted to blow it up. Eventually with enough nitrous i succeded
