It's been 5 years or so since my Ex talked me out of selling my mustang. The second I signed the title I regreted it and to think I took the money and bought a Beretta. Anyways this nice old couple had brought their old car in to get some service done. Well while it was sitting htere the old guy decided time to buy a new car. Well the ygot a new Focus and traded in their 1972 mustang. It's got a 302 and is totally stock. It's has under 100,00 miles on it from what the service manager told me. I know it has a C4 and a whopping 136 h.p. w/8.5:1.

Does it have a 9" or 8" rear end?

Granted it is stock what are some suggestions of where to start?

Heads?
Carb?
Intake?
Headers?
Shift kit?

Drop me a line or two about what you guys think.

 

No one? I need to update my X-mas present list.

 

I don't know much at all about that early model 302 sorry can't help ya

 

Heads/Cam/Intake never hurt anyone ... and some people would still consider it a stock mustang

 

the 1972 mustangs had VTEC. If u get new cams it will bump the PSI to 22 pounds of pressure. . .




in the tires.


LOL Graves, get that shit and slap a blower on it

 

if he did head remember some might need notching in the pistons i think nething over1.94?

 

with 8.5.1 compression he could put big block valves in there w/out a problem.

 

without the valves hitting the pistons i mean ne ways id do afr 165's vic jr intake and custom ground cam also speed demond 650

 

I wouldent do that on a 100,000 mile shortblock

 

why not?
