I am picking up an enclosed trailer next weekend so now my car will have some shade lol. I am also putting nitrous on the car so I can go for my 7.50 license I will be at atco Feb 26.. Ray who made your headers I need a new set for my car they are pretty messed up
The headers are from Crites, http://critesperformanceparts.com/, they are for a 351w,but work with the 302. They have 1.75 tubes and 3.5 colllector. My new 363 engine should go at least 9.80's, I'm duplicating an engine that went 9.20's in a mustang that is 200 lbs lighter. I grew up in the NE, but have been living in Hatboro for the last 6 years. Maple Grove and Cecil are a little closer for me now, but I plan on running the 10.0 index this year with both cars. My cougar has been a 9.73 with a 427w,haven't had a chance to run it in cooler weather yet. I've been slowing it up all year, going to get my license this spring.
Hi ray, love your mav. It's very similar combo to mine. Looks like you have 28" rears but what gears you running. I just went from a 31 to a 28 but haven't changed the gears yet. Thanks
It's actually wider than the original 8", it is the same width as my cougar (59.25) I did that so I can swap axles if needed. I've been running 4.56 gears, not sure what's gonna work best with my new combo. Looking to see 8500 top end!
Here is the best picture I can find with the car sitting, buts its got the 275 drag radials on it. And different hood.
wow lol,ive got the same hood scoop and am gonna run the hoosier 275's but mines no where near as clean man awesome car
