302 for a Mustang

[MAStuart]

Hi Guys! Let's have a little fun with this. I don't want to build a new motor, just want to do a little bench racing. The tread elsewhere on this forum about horsepower from a 351 Windsor and most people didn't seem to think it would make over 350 hp. Seeing that I used to help a friend with a supercomp car (8.90 class) you see all sorts of combos in it. You saw all iron small block chevys carbuerated on gas to what looked like it could have been an injected nitro car. Some cars in excess of 600 in. Some of these cars should have been running in the mid 6's according to the way they looked. Obviously there is a big difference in what some people think you need in equipment to go 8.90. So in this thread, what do you guys think I need to make my 65 stickshift Mustang run in the 13.10 to 12.90 range? Rules: 302 deck highth based engine, must be able to run on cheapest gas you can find, must be plenty driveable (150 mile round trip to the track). What rear gears do you think it will need, heads, etc? Car and driver 3250 pounds. Thanks, Mark
