    Mileage?

    something I noticed with a 4.6,..... the higher the engine speed, the better the mileage. I usually get about 17-23 mixed hwy/cty and mixed driving depending on my moods. But on a trip to the middle of BFE central Wyoming (kids, dont try this at home) I set the cruise at 104, and 3.5hours...

    Heddman's 351 style....

    Yeah, its a 351W, stock height everything, and stock E7TE heads. But I have about 1.2" of room between the inner fender and the engine. Maybe its the picture/camera, but it looks like you have 2-3" there. :shrug:

    Mustang II Respect

    351w swap pics?????

    if you do that, you'll have to block off the fuel pump, and get an electric one. IMO, the best move is just to Port the stock manifolds, they flow pretty good that way. Mstng2 supplied me with my pair. :D

    radiator

    Yes, but I started digging in closer, and it was for the V6.....at least I think it was there..... Make them check how many rows it has. I bet its the 2-core. If you wanna go with that, I got one Ill sell. Heck, it sorta cooled my 383.

    Piston choices

    One El-Kabonged Detroit Locker

    Well, Back to the subject at hand . . . . . I think another thing may have been overlooked here. Dumping the clutch at a lower RPM is usually worse than at a higher engine speed. The tires have a better chance of hooking. And That just ads more stress to the whole drivetrain. I havent...
