Hey man i am gonna be in the EXACT same situation coming in august of next year when i get out of the air foce, except i dont have the car yet. But i am estimating at haveing around 12-13k. All going into my dream mustang. This thread is important to me too!!! I just wasnt plannin on going all the way up to a 408 or 427. Goal is to break 11s. 10s in the future.

I don't have the car yet either but I am looking for one at the moment. Lol and in three months I will be joing up with the Army National Guard kind of funny if you ask me. If you find something please let me know. Thanks

if u wanna break 11s get a 351 and build it and tt then do the drive line in my mind no real good use for a 408 in a stang unless straight line...well to me that is every1 likes a lil more or a lil less

The engine you were talkign about is on http://coasthigh.com/ i belive, other one was one of those damn sponsered searches. Thanks though! What kinda tranny would yall go with? For either stick or auto. Another noob question from me, whats the advantages of a long vs. short block? I sound so stupid here, sry. Its obviously some kind of lenght, haha. Sry again, im learning.

call up Troy Bowen (owner) of FORD PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS,ANAHEIM,CALI.#714-773-9027. tell them Sergio recomended them to you. They have done 2 motors for me in the past. A 408 for my 65 fastback, and a 347 for my current 86 GT. Their customer support is like no other! Not too many engine builders will garantee motors ,especially if hi-performance. I live all the way in Md. so to have a motor built all the way on the West Cost ,it better be great!!Troy's been on HOT ROD TV,numerous Magazine artiles. They also have several motors already assembled for quicker shipping to your door. Best of all he can save you alot of $$$$. He won't try to sell you something you don't need. Plus their attention to detail and quality is great. There have been some manufacture who's quality has gone down. They see this 1st hand ,and perfer tighter clearances and better quality from their best suppliers. Cann't say enough,great customer support,great product,and great turn arround time!! Good Luck!![sm=nxsmile.gif]
