Hello I recently got a 1975 with the 302 and C4 tranny in it. The engine was rebuilt a year ago and everything on the car is completely stock. My goal is to be able to get the car into the mid-high 13's. What is the cheapest way to get there? I'd like to get some decent gas mileage out of it and keep it as a daily driver. Also how would I go about changing it to a late model 5 bolt pattern so I could fit rims on it from a newer mustang? Also considering new shocks and springs and I'd like feedback from anyone who has replaced them. Thankyou in advance for all replies.

James

To convert the front to 5-lug you can buy staock replacement rotors with the 5x4.5 lug pattern thanks to the hotrod guys. Or you could go with the Granada upgrade. The link below describes the Granada upgrade and the rear swap.

This link covers the 4-wheel disc brake swap.
