Project Decisions...grrrr!!!!

Post by Jonathan »

I'm debating so many ideas right now it's ridiculous. Obviously I'm wanting a performance car, but I'm down to two options (help me out, guys)

1. Trans-am esque performance car. Probably a late 80s Fox body designed with handling in mind. Emphasis on a broad power band and good street manners, probably a 351W block since it's considerably stronger than the 5.0. Roughly 400-450hp with good street manners, hydraulic roller setup from Comp Cams, healthy cylinder heads (prob. AFR 185s), Barry Grant carb.

2. Street/Strip car, emphasis on getting maximum performance on pump gas. Similar to what you see in the Engine Masters challenges. Typical Ford hybrid of a windsor block with Cleveland style heads and a matching intake from CHI. Cam would probably be a solid roller, Holley dominator/Barry Grant carburetion. Built C6 transmission. Probably a 408 stroker with a goal of 650hp and 600 lb/ft of torque, and able to make 500+ lb/ft from ~2500 on up (all motor, BTW)

decisions, decisions...
