Thank you SJ. I might as well look for a whole 90-93 5.0 stang to take everything from.

Run that for a few years till I can make a 600-700 hp beast. Mmmm

Heck if I could get mine to put out 300 - 350 hp I would be happy.

Figure the K-codes had 270 if memory serves.

Not looking for a track car myself, just a fairly quick driver.

Right now mine lacks power (even for a stock 289) and I am pretty sure my '07 Explorer is probably faster.
