xc in 11 sec zone? - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

im gonna rebuild my xc fairmont and i wanna get it to do a 1/4 mile in 11 seconds flat on street tyres and keep it driver friendly for work to on the road.

I plan on buying a 351 4ma crank and use 302 rods with flat top pistons and 4v vales in the 2v heads and a 2.5 inch dual exhust system with turbo mufflers back by a 2500 stall converter on my c4 tranny with a trick kit and a 9' lsd diff with 3:55:1 diff ratio.

i also have 15x 8 inch globe mags on it with 235/60/15 tyres

Im aim for 450hp max from my engine rebuild would this do the trick?

Is this possible to do with the car still in street trim or am i dreaming?

If u kno anything i might have missed i would like anyone help thanks.

you missed a whole lot of critical stuff to achive 11's in a car weighing 1700+kilos

sorry but your dreaming

ps 450 hp with really well set up car at that weight lucky to run mid 12's in real street trim

yeah u think so i sore one guys xc in addy and its in full street trim and all and he pulls flat 11s

i am will to speand up to $6000 on the motor as long as i am quiker then a wrx and skylines

$6000 is unlikely to get you 11's. At least not in street trim.

u could buy tyretoasters bottom end he has for sale, some alloy heads and then u could do it. or put a 450hp 351 in a corty!

ok im will get a pair of 3v alloy head from chi.
but what else can u guys recomend that will get me the speed and power i need?

has the xc got a gbox and diff strong enough for 11's? that would soak up some $$

Might be better off building the car up so it is capable of running 11's over a few years.

First aim for 14's, then 13's etc.... And enjoy the sport, learning what works best for you.

How often have you raced on a drag strip???
