I agree, well stated. The MK IIs were a wonderful balance of horsepower, torque and tire. Stray from that, and the fun just goes away. I was, thanks to a tip from Lynn Park, to fit Michelin 215/70 XWXs on the car with no rubbing anywhere.
The Ford Performance Boss 302 motor is a great streetable hydraulic roller with power right where you want it. I'll post the part # in a minute. More than enough horsepower to get in ugly trouble if you get 'stupid'. I have a manual choke Holley 600 thats trouble free, and starts easily. However, OP.. EFI is better for obvious reasons.. cold weather, alt. changes, etc..
