Hey guys I am looking at buying a 97 6 cyl body with a 351 windsor motor that is bored 30 over, w 305 cams and springs, an edelbrock intake mani, shorty headers, SINGLE flowmaster exhaust, and 20" wheels. Now I know roughly what this should put down, and went on a test drive today. It seemed very slow for a 351 windsor. I spun all of first, only spun a little in second and no spinning in third, and it had bald tired. The idle is nice and smooth, its not leaking, smoking, overheating etc. Do you think a single exhaust, and 20" chrome wheels will make the much difference? I don't want to buy it and be disappointed. I tested the car yesterday and looking at making a decision today, Thanks for any fast help!

Im not an expert with the older motors, but, the 20" wheels gotta go no matter what.. the fact that it has a single exhaust seems not good, lol.. but also, whats up with the rear? Locker, no locker, and GEARS, what ratio is in it? And, you said the idle was smooth, an old carbed 351 punched 30 over with a cam should have a lopey idle, IMHO from what you said, I think its a 97 mustang with a stock 351 pickup truck or van motor with just what you see, nothing internal... Just my opinion from what I see...
Thats what I thought, he says that it is a mild hydraulic flat tappet cam and it won't be too loppy. The 20" will absoultely be coming off. All axles, brakes, suspension is all still from the 6 cyclinder, they haven't been upgraded yet.
