Now I think, due to weight A Ford 289, built to Shelby specs with a Holley 650 Carb, and tri-y headers, in front of a Tremec 5-speed. Out back a 9-inch rear end with posi-traction and a set of 3.20 final drive.

Correct me if im wrong but wouldn't the power to weight ratio of a nicely tuned 350 be much higher than that of a highly tuned 289
That sounds like a cool setup, Gil, but I was wondering why you said a 289 and not a 302, seeing that it ahs a bigger aftermarket and thus more performance possiblites for your dollar.Originally posted by Gil

And although the Chevy 350 can usually kick the **** out of the 302/289 Ford, I think there is a significant weight difference there. And anyway, if you were gonna do it blue oval, I would think you would want the 351 clevland (alhtough there will undoubtedly be width issues there).
Why would it torque steer?Originally posted by NISMOskyline
AAAAHHHH!!!! Domestic engines that I know almost nothing about!!!!just kidding.
I still like skip's idea of putting a Grand National engine in a Datsun. Just imagine the torque steer, though![]()
Nice idea, Gil. Can you say "Thunderbird Turbo Coupe"?Originally posted by Gil
Another option I just thought of is the old 2.3 SOHC Ford motor from the Pinto, or Mustang II.
Yes, both of those cars sucked. However, it was very easy to get 200 hp out of the 2.3 with out doing anything to the bottom end of the engine. It was also strong, reliable, and easy to work on. I also believe that they aren't that hard to come by.
It would make for a pretty nice "old skool" ride.![]()
alright this may sound like a stupid question, but whats the weight difference between an sr20 and a ford 4.6??
thanx in advance
