so if I did the swap to the ford M-6007-M146 I would be close but not good enough to beat him?
this is what I was going to put in!

You are going to have a haaaaard time catching that sucker on just motor with the 2v. Even with a DOHC swap your not going to be up there even with it. Those things usualy run low 13's.. where your car stock might be a mid 14's at best.. You need to knock a full second off. Easiest way to do that would probably be gears/slicks/ laughing gas... if your talking a motor swap, that DOHC is still probably going to need a few boltons to catch the LS1. If you threw on gears/tires/supercharger for your year you would probably beat him as well...

I could be very wrong about that.. with the swap you might be faster then a stock mach 1.. but I kinda doubt it. Those LS1's are killers for stangs man.. Only the 03/04 cobras can beat them on a regular basis

RE: What will it take?
it would be close in the 1/4.. depends on how strong his car runs... You need to know what the guy can actualy run before you really get an idea of what you need to do to beat him. If he has one of those odd ball cars that runs high 12's (which I doubt since he's an auto), you will have a harder time catching him then if he has a slighlty weaker car running mid 13's.

RE: What will it take?
Time to go to war!
But first, a few words from our sponsors...
1. PI kit, with PI heads (ported and polished - Fox Lake does a great job) and Comp or VT cams.
2. Blower kit and custom dyno tune (for more info, check out www.modularpowerhouse.com).
3. Short throw shifter - MDW, Steeda or 5.0 Pro.
4. Gears (4.10's would be my guess), and you're done.
You'll have him easy if you do this - and you'll be a lot poorer, of course.
Tell you what, give us a $ budget, and we'll see how quick and effectively we can spend it.
Oh, just thought of an alternative: Join the local MCA regional club. Most of these clubs have members with fast cars (some with verrrrrrry fast cars), and if you're lucky, one of them just might loan you their ride for a good cause. Nothing like a 10 second notch or a 11 second Cobra to teach those unruly GM products some manners!

RE: What will it take?
I think just the engine alone will keep me close because he is at 305-hp @ 5,200 rpm and 335 lbs.-ft. @ 4,000 rpm where I would be at 305 HP @ 5800 RPM and 320 ft./lbs. of torque @ 4200 RPM!

His car is kinda hott **** compared to yours... no offense. You're comparing one of the fastest v8s to the slowest v8s.
