Hey Rev are you trying to say that the car we had wouldn't beat the cars I said it did, if you are, read what I have posted, you could see that the car was not stock.
The motor was pretty healthy and the only thing holding it back was the Holley 500cfm two-barrel. No those cars were not that heavy, it was a *******' fancy looking Pinto. We bought the car off of one of those guys who sinks tons of money into something and then doesn't want to finish the project.
The transmission would chirp going into second and third gears. The little motor in that car ran real well. The heads were of older vintage (had a port clean up and gasket match) and as I said the only choke was the 500cfm Holley 2bbl (the guy said he did the 2bbl for fuel milage reasons, ?). The car had a fair amount of compression, cause anything less than premium would cause detonation. The cam was fairly mild, probably close to a stock H.O. mustang cam, maybe a little more. Oh yeah, the motor and trans were fresh when we bought the car. Another thing is our car was a stripper, and had no options (only had am/fm radio). So this must have made it even lighter than other MII's.
