Thread: 500 hp/550 lb-ft from a 390?

The difference is night and day. The old stuff is awful comparatively. I've driven both and can assure all that this design is FAR better. More control of the tire contact patch as well as beefier spindles and better braking. If the design from 67/68 was all that spectacular, they'd use it to this day...

More hubris: I'm ditching the leaf springs out back as well....for a 4 link Martz design...and a Tremec 5 speed in place of the slushbox or 4 speed.

The goal is not to build a "fresh for 1967" Mustang. The goal is to have a fully modern vehicle with a fuel injected (FITech) FE powerplant. The engine will be a solid roller (Competition Cams) build with Edelbrock heads and intake. Accessory drive will happen via serpentine belt from Billet Specialties, pistons are Diamond units supplied by Barry at Survival Motorsports, rods come from SCAT, the crank is stock. Ignition from MSD and let us not forget air conditioning! Important here in the sunny South ;-)
