He wants to do a 1000 dollar grudge match in july...Do I stand a chance or should I respectfully bow out. I think I have a chance at uner 3500 pounds

302 parts will make it run like a 302 that Mustang should be a turd like most summit catalog built Fox bodies

red beast

unless you are rich 1000.00 bucks seams steep. if the fox races for big money all the time, I'm sure he is leaving something out. I can't believe he weighs in at 3300pds unless he has sand in the trunk. good luck

Black Mare

No chance in hell that is the build of that fox if he really wants to race for $1,000.

roll or dig race ?

He's lying. Period. Those heads are ok on a small cube motor, that's a meh cam at best, and unless he weighed it with a family of Mexicans in the hatch, it's considerably lighter than he's saying. Don't do it.

If that is his combo, I won't say that it will run bad, but I won't say that it will run good either. It looks to be a bad combination on paper with the cam and headers, but I've seen bad looking combinations work better than anyone would think.
As far as the weight, my 85 GT weighed 3400 pounds with me in it. It was a full weight street car with a/c.

Ok so I chatted with him today, he weighs actually 3100 with him in the car. The 347 is almost 11:1 with cleaned up procomp heads with the x cam, claims to put 380 down. He has a lot of off the shelf parts, but he does run 11.80's-11.90's I have watched the car do that with a shitty converter. Now with a PTC 4500 actually he said it should run better. I think im going to do it anyway. I have faith in my fat *** goat lol

With his weight and hp compared to yours this could be a tight race. Are you racing from a dig or roll?

Heater

For his weight and hp, that's pretty close. I do agree that with a better convertor, he could go faster.
