I just got a vintage '69 351W engine. And since my goal to to make it on the BCM time board (the one that is on the home page). I need to start looking at a set up that will get me there.
I have the engine just need heads, intake, cam, pistons, rods, and well you get the idea. Stoke and bore, leave it and go for a HCI combo? Any ideas from some of the pros here?
I have dreams to run a turbo later on but with all the parts need to get it finished n2o sounds like a little more in the budget. But I was hearing that you build a turbo motor and run it with nitrous.
This is what it is going in and what it currently has.
1965 Mustang
C4 transmission with shift kit and fresh rebuild with red bands
2000 stall TC
9" with 4.10:1 gears
90/10 front shocks
50/50 rear shocks
Cal Tracs
Stock rear leafs
Subframe connectors/ driveshaft safety loop (Thanks Ron)
A1000 pump
5 gallon cell
Rear mounted battery
MSD 6AL
235/60r15 MT drag radials
Its gutted as much I can bring myself to do it. I am thinking 2900# with driver.
Most of of these parts are BS for the question but it might clear up the question a bit. 10s are really expensive but so if I aim for low 11 and some practice I might make my dream of getting on the board happen.
