 | upper trunk corner compatibility -- cesar gaitan, 08/18/2005
are the upper trunk corners compatible between a 72 mustang coupe and a 72 mustang mach 1? I am mainly worried about the portion where the weatherstripping is attached.

i have simular setup; will be a 416ci and i used total seal rings for mine. no blow by at all

| 351 Windsor -- Steve, 08/14/2005
I want to get the most out of my Ford 351 Windsor boat engine, it is in a 1988 Supra Comp TS6M. In Oklahoma City, at Thunderbord Lake, I could go about 51-52mph and it would pull very hard, In Truth or Consequenses, New Mexico, I could only do about 46, and the motor struggle a little on hard acceleration. While an '88, this motor still has breaker points. It has the normal water-pipe headers and a Holley 600cfm carb. I want the most bang for the buck, so please list the options you recommend with what you think it will cost. |
| | RE: 351 Windsor -- Steve, 08/14/2005
It also has a ni-bral 13x13 prop, and a normal V-drive. The engine, when out of gear, will rev nicely, and it starts easily, if you are going moderately fast and then slam it in reverse (ski around the boat trick), it will sometimes die and have to be restarted.
I am hoping for a manifold or cylinder heads I can get, or get a recipe for mine. I am also curious if there is a pertronix kit or even a mallory ignition or something to be rid of the breaker points. Also, if anyone knows of a modern fuel-injection system-intake manifold combo, I am interested in that. Or maybe an expert can tell me what engine is the closest relative to this boat engine (which Ford car or truck) |
| Harmonic Application -- John, 08/14/2005

| | RE: Opinions on the follwoing setup wanted please... -- John, 08/14/2005
er....sounds like a lot of overkill for a street engine. If you limit yourself to the HP producing equipment only, and keep the machining down to what's necessary, you will still have the power and have saved a lot of $. On the other hand, .......hmmmmm..... |
| | RE: Opinions on the follwoing setup wanted please... -- giacamo, 08/14/2005
i.d run 10.5 or 11,0 conpression,it,s not going to be a gas mizer,anyway and it would make the engin more responive with the higher compression..i,d also save a coupel of bucks and skip the alum water pump. |
|  | RE: Opinions on the follwoing setup wanted please... -- zane, 08/16/2005
Hey Justin, I have this set up exactly for the last few years. I went with a hydraulic cam, 553 intake 565 exhaust @285 advertised duration. RPM heads, intake, aluminum water pump, adjustable rockers, 650 mighty demon since I only get 7" of vacuum at idle. FPA headers, alternator bracket, canton oil pan...forged pistons, eagle connecting rods, MSD ignition & distributor.
So a Year ago I was on a Mustang dyno and at the rear wheels 263 hp with 320 ft/lbs of torque. Just to compare there was a 429 boss on the dyno all original and he put down 232 hp and 260 ft/lbs.....Now thw Mustang dyno is know for being a truer reading of HP and Torque. The Dynojet like on HP TV reads 13% higher.
Now I have not run on the track since I have a 67 convertible mustangs GT but I am sure I will pull a good number such that I would get kicked off since I don't have a roll bar.
Drop me a line if you wish to have more info
Zane
