ok guys what are your appinions on this subject.


almost all the guys now that are going for high power stangs got eathier the 5.0 fox body style stangs or the brand new(have no idea what they are called) stangs. but what I dont get is I always thought the older stangs were better for racing. so witch is it. I mean dont ket me wrong here I love my 66 and as some of you probly know I am planning on doing A 6 to 8cyl swap at the beginning of this next summer. but I want to make sure I do it right and am going to be able to compeet with the newer stangs. so basicly is every one just over looking the classic stangs or are they not as competative as the newer one's.


really what I am trying to decide is when I convert over the the 8cyl. will A 289 do the job. or will I need to go with the 351. I just need every thing planned out before I start taking things apart and since I have time I am trying to cover every possible angle of this project.


thanks
