I take it you have never driven a 500+ hp V-8 I have owned a 63 ranchero and it had a 200 I-6 It ran great even had some good torque, but it is by no means a V-8 or any where near it. Why have a muscel car if you are going to worry about fuel consumption.</P>

 

I own and drive daily a 65 Mustang with a 200 six that has A/c. It performs really well with a holley 2v 350 cfm carb. With the right type of rims/tires, and a good shift kit in tranny, you can make the mustang 25-50% better. Add a aftermarket exhaust with a 2" pipe and flowmaster muffler for a few extra ponies and a good exhaust note. Another great improvement is adding a 250ci head or 170ci to the 200 block for improved breathing and compression. Clifford performance sells these and some aftermarket higher duration camshafts for a really improved beast of an engine. I right now get about 30 mpg with the aftermarket carb, K&N air filter, and shift kit in the tranny. Just think of what you could get with the afore mentioned items.

 

well i can say that must of the mustangs in israel are 6c.</P>


its not a powerfull motor but its easygoing reliable and simple motor.</P>


lets say that hecastrated and not kicking ***, 4 me mustang with 6c its justanother classic car , not the mucle car that every1 dream about.</P>


so the answer is seek 4 the perfect body on budget...</P>


u can alwaysmodify the motor tokicking *** V8</P>

 

A 2barrel carb on a 1 barrel intake, how did you pull that off? I have been looking around for quite sometime, and haven't found any 350cfm 1 barrel carbs. Did you customize your own intake or? The bigger heads is a good idea, good thinking there. You just can't add a bigger cam and expect great things, I hate to break it to you, its the same with a carb. The 200 lacks engine breathing capabilities <IMG src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0">.</P>

I personally like the sixes. It is true that it doesn't have the go-go power of a V-8, but the gas milage is certainly better. With a/c it will slow a bit, but for good reliable service, you can't beat a six. Besides, it also keeps the car stock.

 

whoever said drop a Fuel Injected V8 in there needs to get a life. Anyone who wants to have a true American Muscle car that wasn't originally fuel injected shouldn't have a fuel injected engine. Out of respect for CLassic American Muscle, forget the restomod and forgot about what the people say.
