Hi,
Just a reallity check.
A fellow racer ran a turbocharged 347 cu in 5 liter mustang for 2 years in the 8 second bracket,probably making 1100 HP.
This STOCK BLOCK five liter made many,many passes before it split the block wide open.
The POINT is stock blocks are way tuffer than you can ever imagine.
Perry.
ps- he runs a stock motorsports 4 cap 351 block,out to 400 cubes with yates heads on alcohol and 28 lbs boost. Now it's high 6 seconds at 210 mph, oh yeah, this is a STREET LEGAL mustang
