What all have you done to the motor?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'm going to do a post about my build and will include details on the motor. It is a 331 with stock 69 351 heads, victor jr,demon 750, duraspark. The only parts that are not used are the victor jr and oil pump.
The hood scoop is from a 70 cougar and it fit perfect. I cut the hood and the airfilter sticks thru.
It is a bit ruff but diffinetly fun to drive.

I added a video link check it out it is with my old 289. If you watch the whole video near the end a fuuy car races a jet.
