302 for a Mustang

[MAStuart]

Hi David your car looks pretty sweet. Mine on the other hand not so sweet. So far response has been about mostly motors on the mild side. This kind of surprised me because most guys build motors for there cobras that are wild and expensive compared to the combos in the above mustangs. Some of the cobra are about 1000 pounds lighter and have more hp and some are not a lot faster in the 1/4. So if you have no traction in your mustang on street tires a cobra on street tires and more motor must be real hard to launch. Anyhow my car at one point in time ran 12.42 at 109.9. To run these numbers the car was setup like this. 26 x8 M/T slicks , 9 inch ford with 3.50 gears, Slapper bars that you put on at the track(hitch pins),t5 trans, globel west leaf springs and shackels, globel west upper controle arms with worn out stock springs sat on the rubber snubbers , lakewood 90/10s .... rode suprisingly well! Engine..... boss302 pan and windage tray, 30 over cast flat top 302, try y headers, Cast iron 4 barrel intake , 600 vac secondary holley, home ported 302 heads , stock valves, msd ign, and a small 90 shot of nitrous. Best 60 ft 1.69 . That was driving it out the gate on the bottle and no lift shifts. This was the only pass that the nitrous kindof worked right on. The best pass on the bottle was only 4.5 mph faster than without the bottle...forgot about the cam it was a wieand cam. They had two cams . Ihad the milder of the two( 204 at 50 447 lift. When I get some more time I will tell some ofthe other combos I have tryed. Mark Ps 2 tenths slower 60 ft witout the bottle
