DarkBuddha said:You know, for years, I've been thinking about doing a real street sleeper car... very deceptive kinda thing. Make it look like a total restoration of a '69 Mach with a 351W 2 barrel, except use all fiberglass where I could. That site pretty much has it all. Yep, I think a nice stroked 427W with a mild cam, ported exhaust manifolds, 3.5 inch single exhaust, 2 barrel Nascar prepped carb with original air cleaner, 5 speed TKO with a classic Hurst 4 speed handle. Yep, look like a nice sedate 16 second stock as a rock Mach that runs low 12s... I'd like that.
Nice idea with the aluminum block, but a 302 never came stock in a Mach. A stroked 351W (to 427) would still look stock and non threatening, but I'd definitely do aluminum heads and intake (ground clean and painted blue of course). Its definitely a fine line to walk but a damn tasty line.Route666 said:I hear ya, but I'd go more extreme with the deception and weight loss. I'd use the fibreglass, and an aluminium 302 block with forged internals. The sound would be less hostile than a big block when cruising, and the weight would be WAYYY down over the big block. Once you hammer it though, the sound would be nastier than the big block IMO, high-revving screamin' demon.
