So long as you are willing to cut and weld a bit :P

(edit: the rear hangars on Mustang tailpipes don't work so you have to cut them off and weld tabs onto the tips to hang the tailpipes)

Greg, I've been watching this thread with alot of interest, and I gotta say the car is lookin great! :bowdown: I've been in the planning stages for this spring to do some rotissere work myself, but I have a question. Was there any concerns/problems/issues with leaving the front and rear windows on the car?

I didn't want to remove the windows, but was concerned there might be issues with the windows either poppping out, cracking, or seals pulling apart that could cause leaking. I will be welding in subframe connectors before turning the chassis to minimize twisting though.
 
What are your thoughts?

I would weld the subframe connectors 1st. I left the frt and rear glass in my car. I also left the doors on while it was on the rotessier.
  Hope this helps.:D

Fastcat with your 351 what afr heads did you use? When i build my 351 up i wanted a set, not sure which ones will give the best performance for street strip use. Not gonna turbo/supercharge mine though, i just want a bad ass small block chevy killer. And i can't wait to see that thing done man tis gonna be sweet!

I used the AFR205 heads. If I was going to build a naturally asprited 351 I would use the 185's. The  205's would kill the low end without a poweradder.


  Thanks, Trying to get the dash and interior back in.  I'll post pic when I get some more done.

408's are block eaters.  The rod ratio makes them relly hard on the blocks. Short life. Go with a 393 or a 383 windsor. Just my 2 cents

15ci makes that big of difference? i thought i was playing it safe staying away from a 427w stroker, i heard they could be stroked out that much. i guess ill do a 393 then. How much power do you think it would push with just being stroked, and the mods in my sig?

LOL!! You're not even close! I'd guess somewhere between 280-320 rwhp depending on cam. 700cfm isn't flowing that much HP. For comparison my last AMC was this:

360, stock dog-leg heads (outflowing your ported heads by a lot), Performer Air-Gap, Reed flat-tappet cam, stock bottom end (8.5:1, fresh rings/bearings and ARP rod bolts), 780cfm Carter, Hooker long tubes, etc. put down about 350HP to the wheels with a 727 Torqu-Flite trans. That engine is 9ci up on you, larger bore, better heads, bigger valves, and a bigger carb.

I highly doubt you're anywhere over 300 without a truely radical cam, and it sounds like a plain, low duration, low-lift, flat-tappet one to me.

Daboss,That's the way it goes sometimes.Take your time plan things.A lot of people just start bolting things together and don't get anywhere.Bigger isn't always better.
