    750dp to big for a 351w?

Speed usually 65-80 mph on TomTom GPS also supplying driven distance. JW Performance C4 (1:1 3rd), 3.70 9" rearend with TrueTrac, 295/30R18 Kumho tires 351W built...

    Headers with X-Pipe or H-Pipe?

    This is my 351W, 10.5 comp with 2.5" and H-pipe, Magnaflow stainless mufflers. Very nice cruise rumble, very quiet inside. Fairly loud outside when you open up but not obnoxious. http://www.omg-e.com/mustang/airport_pony.wmv

    750dp to big for a 351w?

    I use a 750 DP on my 351W (10.5 comp, Edelbrock RPM heads, X303 hyd. roller cam) and the response is awesome. Mileage is still around 17-18 mpg on the highway @ 80 with no OD and a 3.70 rear end. The carb was modified by the builder (11 psi fuel pressure etc) so I wouldn't know how a stock...

    66 Traction bar HELP

    Wheel hop could also be coming from the whole driveline flexing. Do you have PU motor mounts? I fixed my hop with motor mounts, 5 leaf springs and Slide-A-Links. No idea what helped the most as I put it all on at the same time. :rolleyes:

    CPRstreetmachines 1969 Turbo'd Pro-Touring GT2 build

    Indeed! The new tranny will take around 800 lb.ft. and that'll be the limiting factor. Engine is built to take more just in case we decide to up the boost later on. I wouldn't rely on just composite springs, the torque arm is a must and also contributes to a very solid road feel. Also with a...

    E3 spark plugs

    Yeah, seen the adds too but that line alone had me laughing loudly! :rlaugh: Numbers must be from a 78 Escort that never had a plug change! Seems there is a natural cycle to "wonder plugs", one pops up every 2-3 years it seems.

    heat and sound insulation

    +1 on RAAMaudio. Used to go with Dynamat but the new car is getting RAAMmat BXT. Same effect, better pricing.

    Hit 6's in the 1/8 mile ....

    No but CPR in San Diego is building my new ride so I was over to check it out and talk it over. Had the pleasure of going racing with the boys. :nice:

    Hit 6's in the 1/8 mile ....

    I did bring the camera but it was to dark during the last run. Have some pics of the rather excessive burnout from the previous run though. :D Posting tonight.

    Wanted 9" Rear

    Got one from a 69 for sale. Located in south CA. Not cheap as it's completely refurbished with lot's of new parts + disc brakes. PM me for specs & price if interested.

    CPRstreetmachines 1969 Turbo'd Pro-Touring GT2 build

    Yeah, a few unusual choices in the shopping list! Front suspension: why struts and not UCA / LCA and strut rods? To make room and save weight up front. The AJE front K-member and A-arm setup will save a LOT of weight and make it possible to shave the shock towers to make room for the turbo...

    rear suspension for Autox

    More info please! Is it under braking, mid turn, acceleration or just all around? You could go with a TrueTrac if you have a limited slip or Locker. You should upgrade to heavy duty shackles and harder bushings (Delalum) if you don't already have them. Do you have adjustable brake bias for...

    I'm usually around 18mpg on the highway @ 80mph. 6 sucks! :rlaugh: Built 351W, X303 cam, Holley 750DP tuned to run 11 psi C4 auto, 3.70 rear, 295 tires

    Tcp g-bar install and pics

    Looks good Richard, you'll get some more practice soon! :nice: Let's have some driving impressions please. I have a buddy here almost done with his but I haven't driven one yet. Still deciding if it's worth the money compared to a 5-leaf, torque arm and Panhard.

    What manual transmission? +600 ft.lb.

    I've been searching the net for comparisons and associated pricing but am not really close to a decision. We're building a motor that will be capable of over 600 ft.lb. torque and I prefer a 5 or 6 speed manual trans. It's for a 69 and tunnel modification is OK. We have a fresh Toploader that we...
