I had one of those on my 1970 BOSS-302 back in 1974,5,6,7. Sold the car to Sonny Chaplin on James Island, SC in 1977. Ford made 2 different carbs…875 and either 1050 or 1150 (??? could be wrong on the big ones), 4 pumpers and non-progressive. NASCAR outlawed them the moment they saw them test at...

Add the Shelby quick steering arms and a 14" Personal wheel with 205/60-15 Euro/TA's and you sure don't need a Bowflex for your upper body work-out!

1965 coupe, 30 over 289, Crane Fireball-1, hi-po 289 heads, 9.5 cr, Boss 302 rods, tri-y's, Cobra intake with devider cut down 3/4", Accell vacumn distributor set at 6 btdc, 650 D.P, 2.78 1st top-loader, 3.25 8" differential and 215/60 Euro T/A's, shift at 6500 rpm..........5-65 mph=5.5 sec...

I say K.I.S.S.,..........go with a 750 dbl pumper on an RPM manifold.

Ditto the accel-pump adjustment....but don't forget the power valve...rule of thumb is take vacum reading at idle...subtract 5...go to closest .5 valve size. e Example: vacum at idle=...12 subtract 5.....=...7 select vavle...=..7.5 or 6.5

Just be sure to go to Tractor Supply for the cable...about $10 and it's a true multi-strand SS cable. Works like it was in teflon.

Holley 600 vacumn secondary, Edlebrock Performer RPM with the largest AC/DELCO paper element filter you can put under the hood. And before anyone starts singing the K&N song...a 14"x2" stock AC/DELCO flowed 550 cubic feet per minute (enough for about 375 hp) and filtered particles much smaller...

Are we talking about the Z-F, 4-speed AOD? If so it is the very same transmission that came in 'S' class M-B, 6-7 series BMW and all big Ford cars. I know of at least a dozen of these units in big M-B's (380 lbft and 5000 lb vehicle weight) that have well over 400,000 miles with ZERO...

The timing chain looks like a VERY long version of the primary drive chain on my 1977 XLCH Sportster! Did I say VEEEEEERY long?

Well, it was 1970 before computer aided designed cams, cnc machine shops, extrude honeing and computer controlled engines. Do ya'll remember Tasca Fords 'Beat-the-Boss' "429" Mustang? The car ran low 11's on street tires. The engine was a 490 cid Holeman-Moody item with a full manual-overide...

The part about it staying together long term as a daily driver AND running 10's on the weekends. I know of a GN-X that did it but the block, rods, crank, rockers, valves, pistons were all the McLaren pieces for that engine.....plus it was far more tha 3.8 litres. And it was fully blue-printed by...

And you think I really believe that?

I think the LS-1 is the best performence buy out there at this point. You can buy a 585 hp 427 for about $16,000.00 with computer. Not a bad deal...but you can't get more cid and keep it together....like you'd need more. I am not a fan of s/c's for other than drag racing due to the heat...

I did drive it to the ship everyday...lived out Military Highway close to the I-64 overpass...drove to D&S piers 5/6 days a week and to Va. beach every chance I got.....plus the SS weighed about 1000 lbs. more than a Mustang. With roller cam and rockers you don't need to adjust valves all that...

PRIMAL??? seat-of-the-pants???? Try a 1966 SS-427 Chevelle, 2.78 1st gear big input shaft top-loader, 4.30 posi unit, 850 double-pumper, Accell dual coil igniton, hooker super comps, ZL-1 rotating assembly, Crane solid roller cam and rockers with titaninum valves. Vertical-gate...

Any leaf spring when hit with enough torque will wrap backwards.

Go to Flex-A-Form.com and check out their product. 8lbs. per side, mono leaf...no stiction, lose a ton of unsprung weight, faster reaction time....about $450.00. NO welding. Everyone I know who has used them would not use anything else.

100% agreement.....but why bother with all that turbo stuff when you can just build a very affordable 450 hp stroked 351?

Isn't that car green?
