    we are building my 66 Mustang right now with a crate 302 with 400 HP. 150 HP shot of nitrous, 9 inch rear end, AOD transmission. a few other things as well. Should be complete in a week to 10 days.

    jb,

    sweet man.....I have a 66 fastback in bone stock...was my dads since 1969, pony interior 289.....thats what prompted me to build a hot 67.....cant ruin a stock 66 with history.

    I love the reverse shift pattern....no blown shifts on the C-4......but I am on my third tranny.....just too much power.
    My last quarter mile I wrinkled the roof.... the one before that i went to a 2.5 inch pulley and dialed in 15 psi boost, got greedy with 12 slicks and pulled the front wheels.....also couple with a tach with a redline limiter set at 6500....well on the way down I bounced a bit and the tach slid over to 8500.......well sunken heads and a blown water pump later.......get the idea........now its off to the barn for a rebuild to street duty.

    Good luck with yours.

    Boss 302 vs Z28, one of the great debates of all time.

    It's still a boring small block Chevy, however.image

    1969 Chevy 78 points
    1969 Ford 64 points

    Of course we don't want to talk about 1970

    So, why didn't Chevy build a hemispherical chamber motor again?

    At least Ford could keep up with Dodge in NASCAR.

    Actually they did make five window coupes in 1929 . Go to a BIG hot rod show or a show geared toward pre 1940 cars and you will see a few '29 five window coupes. They are rare in a street rod set up compared to the common '32-'34 models but there are a few of them around, you are correct it does have a '32 grill on it as the guy who built it was a highly skilled craftsmen and put together a very unique ride.

    The car is an all metal body (NO fiberglass) and was built by an engineer who specializes in race cars, you can see before during and after pictures here http://www.myautozoo.com/29ford.htm The car has a unique uni-body design, the doors were countersunk so they are flush mounted into the body and the top was chopped without altering the original swing out windshield design which still works. The car won the Coolest Rod award at the Good Guys 14th Great Lakes Nationals show in Sept. 2003, there is a picture of it in the March 2004 issue of the Good Guys Gazette.

    Mopar. A '69 Roadrunner with a 426 Hemi will leave any '69 Ford or Chevy in the dust. Chrysler always had the most powerful engines in the muscle car days, and also back to 1951 when the first hemi came out. I sold my Roadrunner 20 years ago, too many tickets, but still have a '55 DeSoto with a hemi, and a '39 and a '50.

    If I could get the engine of my dreams in my 67....and get it to have traction, I would probably have way to many tickets and no time for coins.
    the dream goes something like this:
    351W with a 9.5" deck, stroked and poked to 427ci, huge heads(aluminum), big 4bbl or injected to make the 12psi boost easier and a bullet proof trans......................4:10 posi and pocket full of cash.......ahhhh a small block with big block displacement and high rpm's........it would kill em to the tune of low 10's and still be streetable.
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
  • tsacchtsacch Posts: 2,929 ✭✭✭
    crud..........i just woke up with vary shallow pockets and two kids, mortgage and car payments.......................sounds nice......so back to coins on the shoestring budget i suppose.

    I'm well aware of that, I was asking why they didn't.

  • ERER Posts: 7,345
    Thanks for the car talk, guys.image
  • oldnewbie.

    Cant answer the hemi ?

    There was a rare nascar engine around 64-65,they called a mark III something between a 409 type engine and the rat motor,never have seen one.

    Also not to forget that GM offically pulled out of motorsports around 1961 !

    As a point of reference,there was an overhead valve hemi head conversion kit for the flathead ford called an ARDUN, Short for Zora Arkus Duntov

    Any body ?

    ARDUN heads are "Too Cool for School."

  • Nysoto,

    Does not the 55 DeSoto have an odd ball Hemi ?

    Like a 330 vs the Chrysler 331/354/392 ?

    Or was it the smaller Red Ram 277 ?

    Next door niehbor had a model A Roadster with a 55 Chrysler 300,354 Hemi heads and an 871 blower on 30 % nitro

    Ran like 230 MPH at Bonneville around 1977 !
