What I have:
Car - 65 Mustang Fastback
Engine - 289 C code(rebuilt 1800 miles ago to original spec with new original style 2bbl carb), original manifolds, new 2 inch daul exhaust
Trans - 4speed toploader
Rear - 2.80 gears, leaf springs, drum brakes
Front end - TCP coil over suspension kit w/ all options, stainless disc brakes, KRC power steering, and 17x8 rims
What i'm thinking about doing:
New Intake and 4 bbl carb. (possibly eldebrock proformer w/ 500 or 600 cfm 4 bbl carb)
Headers (Tri-Y??????)
Gears???????
It's basicly a car to have fun with (shows, cruise nights, and sunday drives) but I would like to make if faster. My goal is around 14 to 14.5 1/4 mile car in terms of power. I know thats far off but someday. That why I want your suggestions. As for the suspension I already have my goal (coil-over rear would be nice but not going to happen).
I'm looking for suggestions on which parts to use and/or different mods I should do. Thank you for your suggestions.
Expense - I'm just looking for ideas, cheap to expensive let me hear them and then I'll decide if its worth it
