Hi-I need a lot of help and advice and really would appreciate knowledgable responses and PLEASE feel free to email me directly.
Please note that I am a FEMALE and tho I do drag race and have a working book type knowledge of engines I am totally dependant oh having someone else do my work $$$$ so please give me good advice!
I just picked up yet another pony car-a fox body 88 4cyl mustang which I have ambitions of making into my next little streetable strip car. I want it to get up and scoot and still hopefully be drivable on the street but if it ends up jjust a strip car thats fine with me.
For the past year Ive had an Fey truck 73, sitting in my yard-a smokey tired 360 that I cant kill with really over 340 thousand miles on it. the body is about done but that poor old motor is a work horse.
Instead of doing just another generic 302 Im serious thinking of having the 360 rebuilt and getting it into the pony. But when I look around on the net Ive yet to have found anyone who has done that (or anyone willing to do that)-maybe Im not looking in the right places. CAN IT BE DONE???? If so how much of a chop job will have to be done to the pony? Will I need a C-6 to move it???
I cant even find 360 parts on like ebay and racing junk and all those other places????? (cam etc) I like the idea of a consistant hard to kill big block esp for a drag racing application. PLEAASE ALL ADVICE OPINIONS INFORMATION WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS AND MAYBE A BIG HUG! :notwthy: CJ
