Exactly, I'm researching before I spend. I have access to a dyno, and an awsome street/strip techie... Another concern is that I live in an emissions controlled area. I'm sure a clean burning 351 would pass, but a heavily modified one?... uhh.. I dont want to put money into something that I cant drive. I know about the damned imports running low numbers, hell this guy I work with drives a 10 second del slow. It drives me crazy, but there are american street machines running low 9s... take my dad for example. (He's a chev. freak, but my heart shall stay with the Fords

)
I'm just tired of all this trash talk I get about fords, so I decided I must put them in their place with a fast mustang. If a stock 302 can handle nearly 600hp, why not build off that? I really like 351w, thats what I had in my truck. oh well, back to the drawing boards...
