My partner in High School had it in a Mustang II that we bored .040" over, shaved the heads, had larger valves installed and the heads ported and polished, split long tube headers, Weber down draft carbs with velocity stacks, nice big loping cam, Mallory ignition distributor and a high output coil with 8MM Accell super stock wires and he put most every Camaro and Mustang running the streets in the late 80's to shame in the quarter!! Car would pack the front wheels for the first 12 feet!! With mechanical lifters and adjustable tappets you can punch out higher RPM,s if the engine is messaged just right inside! Looking forward to seeing what I can get out of my '76 Pinto with the V6 in it in the year to come!
