Default My 1965 1000 HP Street/Strip Mustang Build

Hiya all. Haven't been here in awhile but wanted to come back to my roots to share with you my new project car. In the short of it, will be a 1965 Mustang Street/strip build with a 1000-1100 HP 427. Blow thru carbureted with a Novi on water/meth.

For more on the story behind the build, click here





Right now the interior is stripped out and it is getting a 10 point Chris Alston roll cage in it, though it will get all the stock interior back in the car as well as the cage painted to match. It will also be getting swing out door bars. Next up will be mini tubs. I have the majority of the engine parts here and the engine assembly and dyno testing will be going on in about 3 weeks.

And if they all had the drivability of Scott's blow thru $1000 carb, I'll take EFI.

Same as FI, you have to have a good carb tuner...blowing thru one is a whole different world than n/a.
