Trip down memory lane

[Orange...]

I thought that I would post a few pics of my old ride, the 4 door mustang... now before you all turn a deaf ear cause it's not a stang.. it ran 13.2 @ 116 in the 1/4 with those tires on it. All motor too. I'm starting to miss it recently, but I'm happier to have a better looking car.

On to the pics...

some of these aren't the best pics cause I didnt' have my digicam yet...

If anyone cares the mods were (as best I can remember)

Motor
351W bored and stroked to 412
1972 cougar heads with mild porting and polishing and slightly larger valves
custom crank
edelbrock 4bbl carb and manifold
nasty 4x4 camshaft (comp cams)
hardened rods
1.7 cobra roller rockers
302 mustang hedman hedders
full 2.5" exhaust front to rear
(and alot I can't remember)

Tranny
AOD with stage 3 B&M shift kit
A+ servo gear
1000 rpm over stock torque converter

3:73 open rear end (posi on the last few 13 second runs)

full stock trim
15x8 uswheel rims and 265/50R15 rubber
5.8L emblems and some cobra ones...
all blacked out trim

This thing was FAST!!! Now I have to make the stang fast...

Thats pretty quick for one of those land boats...

116 mph trap speed is a hell of alot better than a 13.2... that thing would turn some NICE numbers if traction was there I bet.

especially quick considering I couldn't get traction in any gear at full throttle.... I wish I had some slicks to see what it really had in it...

I know that a 'stang with the same set up here dynoed at 550/620 on an engine dyno... man I wish I had some slicks....

No joke... 116 is a fast trap speed, specially for something its size.

Its hard to get traction on those dirt roads ....

yee-haw!!! I just figured the good ol' duke boys had it right so I drag on dirt roads now!!! Way more fun, trust me







* enter sarcasm, (obviously the dirt road was used for effect in the pictures to add some nice scenery and have the car stand out more... )
