Okay, I've worked out a few more details in my sleep, hey thats what dreams are for.

Serouisly though, I had a dream last night about the car I wanna build, it was a 64 Falcon hardtop, but instead of bieng my trademark color, RED, it was black, and it was bueatifull. SO that changed, its going to be black with a red interior.

I sat in it and saw the layout of the guages, the brands, and the kind. It had a T-10 in it. There was one bad a$$ 351 under the hood with Victor Intake, Holley double pumper ( I have to figure out cam specs and carb CFM now) I got all kinds of little details from my dream.

I know this sounds strange, but I am.

Now I just need to find one and start taking measurements, and finding parts.

Now I have a question for you all. I know Stock Ford heads suck. Period. But if I do alot of porting, cc'ing, shaving, like I did my 289 heads, will they flow enough for a Victor Jr and a wild cam? I pretty much already know the answer but I just want to see if anyones got a 351 thats thumpin, but using stock heads.

Because trying to figure out what brand Alinumum head (Hell I'll settle for a high performance cast iron set) can be a BIG TIME HEAD ACHE. And the price is a pocket burner. Think I'll have to settle for Hi performance cast iron sets.

There were NO power adders on the car in my dreams, so I'll be taking the NO nitrouis and NO forced indution approach, although the car had a Boss 9 hood scoop with functional ram air. It was bad, had the little Tiger Shark (WWII aircraft) shark mout on the sides of the scoop. Side pipes like the old Dodge 340 Challenger TA sixpacks had. OH man, I cant wait to get started, I'll go parts hunting today.
