Three Year Anniversary

I have been thinking about building another Cuda. While the Mustang is fun, I would love to have more power and the limited room for tires is killing me. I have several rear end options that I was deciding between then my buddy said he wants to replace his aluminum block hemi boat motor with a blown BB chevy. The motor was built to withstand 1000hp and I could get it for a good deal. I'll change the cam and have it just under 600 hp. I just have to figure out if I want to start ALL over again from the beginning.

Well, I can't blame the desire for a 'Cuda. They are cool cars and I know you have a history with Mopars. I hope you can appreciate though, that its hard for alot of us to fathom how you might voluntarily give up possibly the most coveted street machine brawler of the board. Keep me posted on those developments. I sure could use a 347, and I hear the Richmond 6 speed is a cozy fit in a 66 Mustang. :D

If things do go that direction for you, I look forward to learning about the buildup of a brutal 'Cuda. :nice:

Edit: Ya know, there is plenty of room in a coupe to mini-tub... :banana:

Thanks Blake :nice:

One of the things I am contemplating on the stang is the Griggs rear (or a Griggs like rear) with a mini tub for some more meat.
It's really gonna depend on him. If he decides to change motors I probably will go for it. Alum hemi with a richmond 6 speed would be fun
 
umm..... any one crazy enough to just stuff the 426 hemi into a mustang body? :shrug: :confused:

I would be sick enough to try it. Also thinking of a shortbox Dakota with a 426 blown and traction bars. painted BRIGHT RED

If it goes for anything, I also have a passion for 1968 to 1974 Hurst/Olds, having owned one (1974 Indy Pace Car version), and activelly looking for another. Only 127 1972 Convertibles made (also Indy pace car, and only H/O convertible), I'd selll everything to get one!
