The AR heads are nice, but the only headers I cannot any headers for a '65/'66 Mustang that are compatible. The JBA medium length headers for this swap require heads patterned after the original Ford design (no raised ports, paraphrasing JBA).

I have no doubt that the manifold is a limitation. The dyno results did not show the upper end power that was anticipated, nosing off a bit early. The problem with a taller intake is that the hood clearance is minimal and I don't want to go to a scoop. I'd like to keep it as stock looking as possible (aside from the agressive stance of the Global West suspension).

At this point, I'm entertaining a 347 stroker from T and L Engines and parting/selling the 351W.

Thanks for the help.
