427 Clevor EFI!


Why do I get this feeling that it's not going to fit under the stock hood?

XX sorry for the blurry second image but this is a mostly stock 302 with bbk headers, bbk underdrives, mishimoto rad, and ford racing rad hoses.

Look at that blank canvas right there.  Since it costs pretty much the same to go HO as it does to go GT40, I'd go with the later.  Unless you've really got dough to throw at it,  then I'd go tall deck windsor, maybe 408, and Trick-Flow or something equally wicked.  Just me...

are the bottom end of these motors the same as the mustangs; ie forged pistons and roller cams?

the SO has cast flat top pistons with a mild roller cam using the 302 firing order.  The HO has forged pistons for the first few years then changed to hyperteuctic pistons.  All had valve reliefs except for the 1986 HO which had flat tops.  The HO cam uses the 351W firing order.

Oddly enough it actually works. I ran it at the track within 15 minutes of running with the stock rubber tube and the car went .3 mph and .03 faster. It's probably woth ~3hp. Or I just drove better 15 minutes later.

There is a little piece of foam tape on the strut tower bar as the tube hits it when the engine is revved and it makes a clanging noise. The little piece of foam tape stops the noise.
