If you could keep the car relatively light, 325 rwhp would be fine. |

We have three beautiful Fox Mustangs in our neighborhood alone [ Golden Beach in St Mary County ]. What's great is as far as I know they are all daily drivers, and are owned by people in their late 20's. |

It would be a great block for a mild stroker. It won't be a high revver but then again neither am I. Plus, I can use the heads/cam/intake and other parts from the current engine. It would be a really inexpensive build. |

That body style just shouldn't have a 302. In my mind the 302 went out with the foxes. >>>>> I thought the 427W was where I was headed but I have a >>>>> new B50 block sitting on a crate in the garage so I am milling >>>>> around a 327 stroker and just live with 300-325 rwhp.

I'll probably have the short block done at a shop. The rest I can put together at home but I'll have a garage install it. I just don't have the will power to do that myself. I HATE crawling under a car anymore. |

I'm glad to hear that part about car crawling, I thought it was just me. One thing with my truck ( and my previous Dodge) I don't have to jack or ramp it to change oil or the filter. -- Perhaps a metaphor might help: 1. Your emails are like sperm, ready to dash out and do their thing. 2. Your ISP is a prick. 3. APEWS is a condom. 4. We are innocent maidens who do not like surprises. 5. You are asking for one teeny hole in the rubber. You'll have to get us drunk first. - Hey Bub |
