thanks for the info the project got postponed tho, i had to replace a few things on the car and now im out of money for a while, but i may just buy a project stang, like a 93 or something and then when its ready build my 408 not sure yet but that might happen too, keep my 95 as daily driver

 

not true at all. 351W is not that much heavier when you compare it to the displacement possibilities of the 2 engines (347 to 427, thats 80 cubes, about 80 hp), not to mention 351Ws can take more power before they crack than the 302 does. if u get a fiberglass hood, aluminum heads, and aluminum rad you should make up the weight diff.

 

cool i also found an 88 with a 4 cl. in it with T-tops, a little body damage but repairable, only $700 and it still runs i might use that for my project car but im waiting to hear back form the owner so i can go look at the car

 

ttops are SO sweet, but you are loosing a bit of structural ridgidity. make sure to get subframe connectors, especially with the 351

 

ya i have a matrix undercairage system for my 95 and its a vert, so helps alot, hope i can get this car

 

i finally got my project car its an 89 LX, paint has already been sanded off and some bondo applied, needs a little bit of bodywork on the rear half, its missing door pannels and a few latches for trunk hood and one of the doors, this is gonna be my 408 stroker car ill get pictures of it up soon
