So far it is just a guesstimation (or a dream)... I will not know for sure until I get it to the Dyno! This is what the Speed shop told me that they guessed my setup would run when I was buying the parts... But we all know they will just tell us what we want to hear to sell merchandise.

No video clips yet but they will be coming in the next week!
Here is my setup so far:
- 66 289 Block .030 over (~10.8 to 1) 306 CID
- 78 302 crank
- 66 Hypo 289 Heads 54cc (Stage 2 ported, polished HD springs, etc...)

I could not find any 4 lug 15" wheels??? And new 5 lug rear drums are not cheap at all! I would love to go with 15's if I could find some wheels that would go with my setup???

Yea I know about the "Average" grip issue. But I got the Wheels for $40 and it looks like I am going to get the tires for about $89 each. So for just over $200 bucks I think I am going to use these instead of "True" drag tires at this time. And to be honest, I am not sure how much tracktion I...
Here is the wheel on the car...
It fits fine except for the Studs will need to be about 1/2" longer!
Here is the clearance and how far it sticks away from the car:
And the total tire height of the BFG should be about 22 1/2 - 23, the rule in the pic stops at 24" so you can see I...
Ok first off here is my engine installed (But not finished by any means)!
Now lets talk about Tires!
I have Cooper Cobra Radial GT's on the front and I am looking at BFGoodrich Radial T/A's for the back...
Here are my rims 14" X 9" (BTW They look exactly like the stock rims but ven...
Lets see how much the go for! Looks like they have been banged up a bit!

I was going to go with the Edelbrock RPM cam but the guy at my local Speed shop talked me into this one.

One thing I ran into when changing from a 85mph to a 120mph is that there is a little adaptor on the back of the tack that I had to replace on the new one with my old one. I did not know about the Speedo gear... Chalk it up to one more thing I have to buy :)

James,
I am just getting back from a show on Vivan road! There were only about 25 cars there but those are the type where you really get to know the owners!
I really have not had a car to show until now. I ride a Suzuki Intruder 800 Volusia...
Open headers and all... My ears are still ringing and my eyes are burning from the exhaust!!!
New engine sounds great, excellent throttle reponse but I don't know how Low I am going to get it to idle... It sure has a lope to it! I think I might have went just a bit too agressive witht he cam...
Re: Exhaust Question
parthos & Blue Thunder yours both sound very cool! Thank you so much for the video/audio files!
I am going to have to go do some intensive Web searching to see what is available!
Thanks again for all your feedback,
Chad
My Mustang is not going to be my primary vehicle so it is ok if it is kind of loud and obnoxious. :)
I am looking for muffler that give it that deep throaty sound! Any suggestions? Anyone have video's or WAV's of how theirs sounds?
Not sure on the size of pipe to run from the collectors...

Hmm Lets see...
Not sure if this will help you or not? Looks like this may be for the V8 but it may be the same on the V6?
I have a couple books on the mustang I will look through them to see if there is anything better!
