400M mustang project progress/update
For those of you who were interested in my project of putting a 400m into a mustang here's a few updates:
-bought a 1985 Mustang LX (4 banger) to put the engine into....man this thing actually gets good gas mileage even with a 3 speed auto trans. -Started porting the heads, waiting on gaskets for gasket matching -Found a reputable machine shop at a decent price, will drop off block and heads once porting is done - decided on a comp cams 280H camshaft...should be right in the RPM range i want, so i bought a cam kit from comp cams. -i'll hold off on messing with the two quadrajet (750 cfm) carbs i bought. - i acquired engine gasket kit, valley pan gasket, valve springs, distributor, harmonic balancer and ordered the 400 crankshaft (engine is actually a 351M, but i'm stroking it). In the mean time, since i had it laying around i put mustang GT suspension in the 'stang....man does it make a difference. I even got some new struts and shocks from ebay for less than $100 for all of it.
