WTH, I'm a flake no how. "Productive conversations" are not one of my strong suits. Having to type them doesn't help either......nor does the aging process.
I am usually pretty good at separating the wheat from the chaff, however. Keeping my cake hole shut when faced with drivel from exspurts gets tougher with age.

I agree with the above. I've been on the net for close to 15 years and Pelican IS a cut sbove so.......I'll hang on here till I take the dirt nap.:D

A couple of good Mustang threads on here.

Jim Brenmer is a particularly good resource, in those links you'll see a lot of info on his fantastic street/track car. He's tried a lot of different things over the years.

"bored out .90 over with 3 Stromberg 97's"

IMO, you can find a cobra replica for $25K and it will resemble a cobra but that's about it. A nice fiberglass replica (IRS, leather, pin-drives, FE for a 427 car...think ERA) is a $40K or more investment. YMMV

JP... I bet you got hooked on those old rods during the Cruising the Gut??

We were in Vancouver this yr during that show, amazing display of iron and we had a good time to boot. I really drooled over a beautiful 58 vette in yellow, outstanding. Also saw a 78 911 turbo with a chevy block stuffed in it :eek:

I grew up in West Seattle cruising California Ave & Beach drive (Alkali) driving my 62 409 Cheby with 4.56 posi.......4mpg.:eek: Bangin' gears & making noise.........
The only thing that saved my drivers license (& maybe my life) was blowing that sucker up.

Isn't .90 the max over before getting into the water jacket? (i.e. rebuilt 3 times)

just quoting Frank Zappa...

66 Fairlane

FordFE.com Classifieds: 66 fairlane sedan for sale

The FE motor is such a POS......actually, a LOS, but thanks for the link. The Fairlane is decent but not bytchin'.:D

The search has been boiled down to an 61-62 Cheby, 64-67 Nova, & a 65-67 Mustang.
The cost factor.....all about the same, upper & lower.......dirt cheep rust buckets to outrageously over priced pride & joys.

i'd do something different.

like a hotrod ford Ranchero. i love the Chevy II suggestion as well.

Saw an old fury the other day with a 426 max wedge.
Cross flow intake mani and everything.

Talk about bucket list .....

I really like the 67-68 Cuda fastback.

Nice ones are really hard to find.....as are the parts for same.....4 speeds make it worse and the few I see are un-cheep.

If you're not familiar with them, there is a company called Dynacorn making reproduction bodies that may or may not interest you.

A 32 highboy could be really nice as well!

I had a cross ram with dual 4 barrels setup like that on a Hemi ..
Finally switched it out and went back to the dual inline fours.

The good fuel economy goes out the window when you cam them. My LS2 M3 with TSP 233/239 cam gets roughly 12 city 20 hwy.

Idles and goes like hell though.

(Personally, I'm not too wild about the wheels and tires, but this could be worth a look)

Or, a '65 Galaxy 'vert, decent looker for 17,5
