I want to put a new intake and cam.Ohh the car is an 85 gt ,carburated,I now have a cobra intake that came off a 65 gt 350,not sure what kind of cam it gots now previous owner said he put one in. does not have a lope to it.also its a 5 spd. 3.73s.

The car is only going to be raced.I can get my hands on a intake that is called hurrican it power rang of 3000 to 7000.its brand new and its polished,I can get it for $100 bucks.

heres the problem, the heads are gonna hold you back from being able to take full advantage of a victor junior and a good roller cam. Whoever ports the heads HAS to do a max effort, max effort as in ALMOST striking a water jacket. They need to be atleast as good as a GT40 head. I would suggest on a budget is to junk yard a gt40 head or the do the parts store scam-swap for a P head. Then we could talk abut a vic jr intake and cam. No other intake is gonna touch it if we put the right pieces in place.

Gtdaniel

what do the gt 40 heads come on?

myshifter

the explorers I believe, I moved away from small blocks in the mid 90's so I never did the junkyard thing but I think like 96-97 and a few others. Someone will chime in with the years.

Gtdaniel

so are they going to be aluminum?

Gtdaniel

How hard is it to put a big block in the fox,because my uncle gave me a 69 ford truck with a 390.maybe I can use that motor and build that up.

should I go auto or stay stick?

myshifter

the gt40's are iron and dont even think about the 390, there is no stick on the market that will handle the torque of a built big block. Well there are a few but not in the price range.

Gtdaniel

so dont build a 390?

there is sticks that can handle the power,4 speed top loaders.borg warner super t-10 but the borg warners are gm,but cant they be used the ford also?

myshifter

No 390 whatsoever, maybe those sticks would handle a very mild big block, but not any big block worth putting in a mustang. A 600hp big block that makes 700lb-ft of torque would shatter those sticks. You gonna custom make a header for a 390? Is there a double hump oil pan for a 390? There just not the motor for the mustang, 429-460 is the motor to use.
