I'd assume that you would be able to run much faster then mid 10s with that combination. Regardless it's a very nice setup, sounds like fun.

I would hope so. I was running low 9's with my small block. Thanks for the compliment!

Yeah the guy we sold it too back in the day painted it red. Works for me though. I can't wait either. Few weeks!

that'll give you a slight kick in the ass...
i was just spraying a little over 250/little under 300 on my SBF in the 85 coupe I had.. could only imagine on something with 220 more cubes and another 100-ish shot would feel like..
What suspension you have underneath it?

The front suspension is stock, with some shocks and stops welded in, and the rear I believe is ladder bar. Its been so long since I've been under the rear that I can't remember. I do think its ladder bar though.

would've been interesting to have a ladder bar setup/4 link on the mustang.. Would've handled the power we were making a lot better, but since we were running the Stock Susp class it wasn't possible..
used to cut 1.29 short times though, so we had it working.. just got away from me.

Good luck with it! post up some more pics/vids as time allows.

I think you will be pleasently suprised with your times. I ran 10.60's back in 79 with a 468 nash five speed 67 camaro. Of course it was a street car. And as they say no substitute for cubic inches. Have fun and I am sure you will.
