New Short Block Time!

My rebuilt short block came today! It is a 5.0L H.O roller cam engine from these guys.

I am going to stab a E303 in it and top it with my Edelbrock Performer heads. My friend has a Fiberglass Model A with this engine combo and it sounds really sweet. The short block was on clearance at one of the warehouse's my work deals with. I got it for a song, the only problem is it is 0.60 over Guess it is a one shot deal for this one

Wow 0.80!! I thought 0.60 was the limit and that was iffy? I spoke to some guys about RECON and all the feed back was positive, so I will cross my fingers Durring bench racing, I can say I have a 309 Cubic Inch engine now right??

I wanted to keep with the Edelbrock Performer recipet, and surprise! the E303 and the Edelbrock Performer (for the H.O) have identical specs. (Ford's cam is cheaper!)

The collection of parts is growing!

Christmas has come early!

I also broke down and bought a Lokar Speedo cable and yet another Autometer Speedometer. I gave up on the electronic, and bought a Mechanical, the mechanical's mounting tabs broke and it fell out (at speed) hit the floor of the car and it now has a nasty dented bezel!! (I had never even got to plug a Speedometer cable into it). This is my last attempt at having a speedometer in my Mustang. I am starting to think it was not ment to be!!

Too bad it will be six or seven Months of Winter
I will be driving this Mustang II till then
