• Ripped out the weeny '84 HO (it was wasted and had low oil pressure) and slapped in a slightly used (90k mi) '86 5.0 HO from a Mustang GT convertible. (Yes it has stock '86 heads on it. I was outta dough for a decent set of heads).

• Fortified the above motor with:
  1. E303 cam (valve clearance was tight, but it fit)
  2. Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
  3. Holley 650 "double pumper" carb
  4. 4" K&N air filter
  5. Headman 1 1/2" longtube headers
• Dual 2 1/2" Flowmaster exhaust
• Centerforce Gold clutch
• SVO Adjustable Clutch Quadrant
• "Double Hump" Transmission Cross-member
• Line-Lock
• Hurst Shifter with button-knob for above line-lock
• 8.8 rearend out of the above car (3.27 gears in it)
• Global West lower control arms
• Global West sub-frame connectors
• 1/2 Aluminum fuel line
• Holley "Blue" fuel pump with regulator and engine compartment gauge

These mods have netted a best ET of 13.55 @ 101.6 MPH and that's WITH the '86 heads. If you've ever seen an '86 head, you'll understand why this is a pretty decent time..
