Not Ranked
Mods to Mustang 302
As I get closer to be being street legal (VIN allocated; engineering this week), I have been able to do some kilometres on back roads and check cooling, electrics, etc., and test the impact of the standard Mustang with the T5 gearbox. Overall, I am most impressed with its performance in the Harrison. Smooth and quiet but with a nice hard note when revved and plenty of power. Nice Ford 'beat' there.
I am thinking in advance, however, towards some future engine mods. I want a relatively balanced, user-friendly set up with no racing planned at this stage. My initial thoughts involved fitting some quality alloy heads and a MasFlo induction system. Other more random thoughts involved a cam change and moderate capacity increase/stroking.
I would really appreciate any advice on the types of alloy heads that others have found to be effective and sources for the MasFlo set up. Also any advice on other top-end improvements that are recommended at the same time. Really any advice on the small block would be great!
Many thanks,
Merv
