Ahhh...1966, of course.
By Dave Shoe - 09/28/2001 8:26:56 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
Dunno where my head was at. Musta been in Mustangland. Of course the 1966 GTA existed, it got the "unique for 1966" style of 390 exhaust manifolds.

Yeah, the strong pure stock 428SCJ Mustangs tended to hang around the 13.6 area while the 429SCJ Torinos hung around the 14.0 area. I wonder if a pure stock 429SCJ Mustang might dip into the 13s a bit?

As for "bad talking" the 390 GT style exhaust manifold, I gotta take lotsa the blame for instigating that talk. Hell, I start lots of bad rumors around here. While them GT manifolds still suck in my book (due to a traumatizing experience I had, no doubt), they can apparently post some good numbers when all is dialed in just right. This is refreshing to learn.

As for the 180 runs, I dunno, that just doesn't seem like very much. It's sorta equivalent to two months of driving back and forth between work and home for me. I'm all for rebuilding a hot motor every year or two (depending how hot and how driven), so if those runs fell outside the two year envelope, then I suppose problems would become more of a real possibility. Still, it really seemed like the death of that particular rebuild was a direct result of using compressed air to lubricate a crankshaft. Sadly, toward the end of the weekend the 428CJ Mustang owner was looking to replace the noisy rods with Eagles. Man, I hate seeing the stock rods get a bad rap just because they need oil to operate properly. Stock rods did good in that car, oil pan did bad.

As for the "young whippersnapper" observation, I can appreciate it. I was rebuilding FEs when that souped-up '69 was rolling down the production line. I wasn't any good at it back then, but I still had fun. Also, I agree the Pure Stock show was really fun - I met lotsa cool people and took lotsa cool photos. I'm especially glad it went on despite the horrible events of the week. Features like the "moment of silence" and the National Anthem took on a fresh new meaning.
