Default 1/4 mile estimate?

i just did a motor swap with my 90 mustang from the 2.3l to a 302 ho motor... it is being totally being rebuild with the northern auto ford engine rebuild kit with eagle rods, the 476/496 cam with large headers and exhaust system.. the motor is bored 20 over and because of the bigger cam i have newrocker arms and springs... its carburetor ( edelbrock 600 cfm) and have the performer rpm intake, hydrolic lifters with stock heads.. stock 2.3l drive train exept clutch, throwout berring and pressure plate and has the 9.5 in tires and rimsthat come stock on most newer 5.0 mustangs.. can anyone give me an estimate of what this could run in the quater when its done?

14's is a guess without knowing what your hp is. Stock heads are a huge downfall. Completely stock mustangs should run high 14 so maybe in teh mid to lower 14's. Best guess.

I don't know what gears you have in there which would also make a difference. At best, imo, you could hit a very high 13.

I highly doubt thats your true numbers the heads are a choking point and dont let the intake and cam work to its full potential
