    Estimated 1/4 with Motorsport 351/5-speed combo

    I should have included the head specs. Ford iron castings, ported, polished and pocketed by Andy Konya. 1.94" intake /1.60" exhaust valves. 9.5:1 compression. Technically, the engine is not the SVO crate engine, but has the same cam and compression as the SVO engine. I guess a LOT of...

    Estimated 1/4 with Motorsport 351/5-speed combo

    TTT. We'll see if anyone else has a new opinion on this. How fast would you expect it to run on street radials? On slicks? I'm afraid I would tear up the transmission if I ran slicks...

    4.2L 255 from 81 Mustang

    I have to agree with the conscensious here...sell the 4.2L and start with a 302 or 351. If you read the Mustang Performance handbook, they recommend not touching the 4.2. There are NO performance parts that bolt on to that engine. No heads, no cams, etc. In my area (Detroit), you can get a...

    17" wheels & brakes for early Fox Body Mustang

    Blackfox, they are just 5-lug rotors. This car was built in 1990, before any of the SN95 stuff was available. I've heard the '94-'95 17X8 wheels are the only ones that work. True? Or am I stuck with 15" wheels until I upgrade the brakes?
