ram360 said:haha, have fun with that project.... I saw some guy w/ a focus hatchback at the track this past weekend and the car was a complete joke. Mustang rear, coil overs, 350hp 5.0 crate engine, etc... ran 15.2 in the low 90mph range all night long. (1/4 mile track) ....I doubt you'll see anywhere near 10's

ram360 said:ok internet drag racer...11.65 isn't 10's and did you ever take into consideration you'll have no traction? You'll sit there and spin all day long just like this guy. I have it on video.
criticman said:Yeah, that is true. FWD cars have LOT'S of problems hooking up. My friend's SRT-4, with slicks, solid motor mounts, decent suspension setup still spins 1st 2nd and into 3rd at the track. Weight transfer is a b**** in FWD cars.
vristang said:The t5 should hold up pretty well if you're good to it. Slicks may be pushing it, but others would know better than I.
That motor was pretty sad when you started on it!
criticman said:If money is not an issue, get a Dart 302 Man O War block. 4 bolt mains, way stronger than any other 302 you would find.
But since you have the 302 already from '98, do a stroker...331 or 347. Some will say 331 to keep it reliable and not leak oil. A properly done 347 would not leak/burn oil though.
And yeah, 300+ rwhp and you should be in the 10's with such a tiny car.

criticman said:I mispoke. Sorry.
Last I checked though, World Products owns Dart these days.
criticman said:As some will probably chime in, T5's in stock form have run some insanely low ET's and been behind insanely high crank HP.
As vristang said, it'll hold up...IF you are good to it.
And thanks for pointing out about the kit converting it to RWD. Man, that sounds pretty BA...heh, I'd rather cram a 5.0 into a civic coupe though...more of a shocker to someone in the lane next to you.
Keep us posted, pics, etc!
