Jon350 · Jun 11, 2004

5.0 block (306cid)
JE 10.0:1
E-303
AFR 165cc (stage II)
Perf.RPM intake
600cfm holley(1" spacer)
1.72 scorpion rollers
It's a pretty stout setup since the car is a whopping 2727lb dry weight car.

Cool! Are you gunna repaint the bonnet/car or leave it with the colour-scheme it has? (which looks similar to the red stang in the steeda ad just above this quick reply box) What colour?

Hey let me know when you have some free time. I am stationed at VAFB, not too far from you. I am working on my 65 fastback. Where did you get your hood and shelby valance. Are you happy with the quality... I have my front suspension off and replacing it all!!!!

where did you get the cowl hood from and how was the fit.

do you have any more pics, i'm going to be buying a cowl hood soon and im trying to find a good one. is it just a pin on in the front or can you use the stock latch

thanks

What have you done besides the hood, front valance to lighten it up? 2727lbs is pretty light.

Just curious as I am getting ready to put my coupe on a fiberglass diet in hopes of picking up a few 10th's.

Well, I bought the front piece off my friend that owns a shelby (he didn't want it anymore). I still needed to do some trimming to make it sit flush. And the cowl hood is a piece from a group out in Florida, I can't remember for the life of me the name, it was the most inexpensive 3" hood i could find even with shipping. But like they even list in their add for the hood....it's not show quality...there's a good deal of sanding and block sanding the sides...I painted the hood a satin black....it's glossier than primer, but isn't a gloss finish...my ratrod touch if you will.

Weight savings...everything i could find in aluminum motor parts i used except the block itself. JE forged pistons, manley H-beam rods, aluminum heads/intake/waterpump/roller rockers. I took out the A/C system, fiberglass hood(not steel reinforced),fiber.front piece, no back seat, 8" axle (aluminum currie 3rd member)...oh ya small wheels and tires (makes a remarkable difference)....so that's basically that. I am leaning towards a roll cage, so that would add some weight.
