I had my 351W in my 68 mustang with a built AOD Edge 3200 Stall and 4.11 gears and that car with full interior (3300lbs) went 12.50's all day long at 110mph
here is the motor setup:
351W bored .030 over flat top pistons with 2 valve reliefs
AFR 185 CNC ported out the box heads 61cc chambers
Edelbrock performer RPM intake
Road Demon 725 cfm Vacuum secondary Carb
13* timing
Comp Cams Extreme energy Flat tappet 284/296 .541/.544
1.6 Roller rockers, the valve springs are whatever came on the AFR heads
Stock Duraspark Ignition
Holley mechanical fuel pump and all 3/8" fuel line
I put all this into a 86GT T-top with a T-5 Tranny and 373 gears, swaped over the durasprark ignition but instead of using a set of aftermarket headders i had to go with the factory headers off the 5.0 and make pipe to fit the offroad h-pipe. Seems like i lost alot of power somewhere. It will smoke the tires in 1st and about 6 feet in second but thats it! It should be melting the tires away with easy..... What could possibly be the problem, i open for any suggestions and sorry for being so loooonnng, just wanted to be detailed. Thanks alot!!!!!
