Thanks for the advice, Gearbanger. You're not the only one to say that a newer 302 would be the way to go. In fact, one even advised to use an H.O 302. Are either of these easy to locate? Why did you advise of the Explorer? Will the C-4 be able to handle the additional power?

I appreciate the support. I have been trying to come up with a way to add dual exhaust, but have been told that the fuel tank is offset, so I guess the standard duals are out of the question. I don't plan on any really radical upgrades, just a 4 barrel manifold and carb, a cam replacement, maybe...

Sounds like can have a fun to drive vehicle without any major bucks being spent. As for the wheels, are they 13" wheels? I have tried to research that size tire, and nowadays there just ain't much in the way of 13" tires to be found.

I appreciate all the replies, even the ones that are "callous". I don't have the funds as you say, but I just really like the look of that particular year of Mustang, especially the Cobra II. I can go a little bit at a time, as I have been doing with my 1970 Plymouth Duster. As for the handling...

Thanks much. So, H.O. motors are fairly common? How about a good set of dual exhaust? Can that be installed? Can the cats and the air pump be deleted? Sorry, got a lot of questions.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have deep pockets. In fact, I'm just coming off of a divorce, so my pockets are quite shallow. I was just thinking of maybe adding a good dual plane intake and 4-barrel carb, some true dual exhaust, and maybe some work on the engine to raise the compression (and of...

Wow, nobody???:shrug:

Can the Mustang II be modified to run and handle as well as the newer Mustangs? Please keep in mind that I am new to this forum, as well as new to Mustangs.

That's great news. I can only hope that it has a trac-lok.

Headers will bring out more HP, and I have had cars with headers in the past. I understand that they can make an engine breathe better, but the noise inside can be very annoying. I hope it does have the trac-lok. I don't have the $$$ to spend on a new one, and I would be very cautious about a...

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that the differential and tranny could hold up. I don't plan on a blower or anything that exotic, just a cam upgrade, better compression, and a 4 barrel carb. Not sure if headers would be preferred, but a good dual exhaust system is a must. I don't yet know if...

Wow! Nobody here can help?

Hello, folks. I'm new to this site, but I'm hoping to learn a lot from you all. I am hoping to get my hands on a Mustang Cobra II soon. I don't know much about it, just that it's got a 302 and automatic tranny. It's blue with white stripes. What I want to do with this car is make it a real...
