My 1985 Mustang GT video from 11 years ago
Ok Fox car guys, I used to be one too so I thought I'd dig up an old video and post it on street fire. It's not the fastest 5.0 but 13.2 with 2.73 isn't too shabby. When I installed 3.73's it averaged 12.6, I'll see if I can find a video of that as well.
The car had the following mods:
306 Ford rebuilt engine with forged internals (1987 block)
Performer RPM Intake
Holly 600 double-pumper carb
BG electric fuel pump
BBK shorty ceramic coated headers
GT40 stock heads
E302 Ford cam
Z-Series T-5 with 3:35 first gear
Street-Fire LINK

Thanks, that car pulled with the 2.73's on the highway like you wouldn't believe! A trap speed with the 2.73's of 106 shows how much power it was making, with the 3.73's the mph went up to 110.
I should have kept that car!

It was a very good year, what I don't get is why the historians consider the '86 the first year for forged internals, for headers etc.... 1985 was the first year for these items and '86 was the first year for true duals. How hard is it to get the facts right?

I know but I am partial, we bought an 85 new in 85, white, black stripe hood, 5 speed. That was the year that started the whole craze. The car sits in my garage right now, stripped to the bone doing a resto

13.2 is FAST for any car that is running 2.73 gears, especially when you figure that most cars run in the 13's with 3.73 even though the driver will claim its in the 12's when there away from the track!!
