BA Mustang, turbo vs NA for your six....

Have you checked this stuff out? I would much rather stay naturally aspirated. What are your thoughts? (in the long term of course, I bet this head costs a fortune).

Best NA is 211 HP
Best Turbo is 445HP

In NA I'm looking at running a 17-18 sec 1/4.

I will turbo my mustang, just depends on engine. If I could find a 250 cheap I would build it up and drop it in.

You can't find the blocks cheap. They want like over 1k for a block. I would also have hood problems, but I don't think a 3" cowl hood would look bad on my 67.

So, even with the new head, optimal carb (4v?), cam, and ported exhaust (headers, dual) -- only 211 HP?

Wow.

Oh I see, that's 211 AT the rear wheel. That makes more sense.

Yeah. I could get something like this and then mod a 250 head with a 2bbl, headers, and valve job.
