I have a 68 HCS dressed up as a GT/CS. The stripe tape kit comes with the GT/CS tape cut outs. I only have one set up HCS decals and want to save them for when I repaint the car. It is a J code car, but have pulled the 302 and installed a 351W bored and stroked to 393CI. I am impressed with...

Wayne, Here are the results of all my races, broken out by the key stages. Your 60' times are somewhat similar to mine over my last few races. I think 1/8mile is about 660 feet, so no direct comparison to 500 feet times. Also, I am way above sea level. Not sure this has an impact on our...

No updates? Must be having too much fun! Wish I could have been there. Looking forward to pictures. david

Time slips attached from last weeks runs. Bandimere speedway is 5,860 feet above sea level. I have heard people say to take 1 second off your ET's for the altitude. Seems to be fairly consistent with the conversion table I found located at: http://www.wallaceracing.com/altitudecorrection.htm...

I second that!

Here is the info from the build sheet. Don't believe the desktop Dyno numbers. My best guess...Maybe 400 HP, 300-325HP range at the rear wheels. Will be changing the ignition (Performance Distributors DUI) and larger exhaust sometime soon, then will have it dyno'd. I went with these guys...

Just figured out that this outfit is the same one that I purchased my 393 stroker from. I was very concerned about purchasing a crate engine from a company that was not local (I am in Colorado, they are in Indiana). But after getting references and seeing their prices, I went for it. First...

Tim, Congratulations and welcome to the HCS club! david

Bob also had an article on his HCS's published in the March 10, 1997 edition of Mustangs Monthly. Pages 76-79. It features a C code he owned but also mentions his "recently acquired" 428 Cobra Jet High Country Special that one of his sons coaxed out of hiding. The scanner on my printer is not...

Jamie, I am running full length headers...Hooker Super Competition. They have two piece construction (into the collector tube), makes for easier installation, but can be prone to leaks and rattles if not properly sealed. Other than my PS systems is leaking all over the place, I did not have...

Jamie, When I get a second, I will take a picture of the metal bars I installed to align the power steering and alternator. This is something that is commonly needed in a 351W conversion. Also be absolutely certain that the headers you get will work. I was sold and sent the wrong ones...

Carb selection - have you seen this on the Holley website. Might be of interest. I switch off between an Edelbrock Performer 600CFM and a Holley 750Double Pumper. They both work fine, but when I race, I use the Holley. david

Personally, I think even inexpensive aluminum heads work great. My Corvette mechanic once told me that he always buys the generic heads. (No knock on top end heads, I am sure there is a big difference in air flow, porting, etc) I just saw this in the latest Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine...

Casey, I also appreciate your acquiring this history for us GT/CS and HCS enthusiasts. Thanks very much. Not sure it has been previously mentioned, but AO Smith produced the frames and fiberglass bodies for the 60's Corvettes. According to one Corvette history book that I own, Chevrolet phased...

Jamie, Putting a 351W in a 68 coupe is an engine conversion. The 68 mustang did not come with a 351W. I currently have a 393 stroker in my HCS (essentially a 351W block). Couple things you need to keep in mind. While the engine will bolt right in, the engine will sit a bit higher. Hood...

Jamie, Not an expert here, and not sure this is relevant to an 84 block. Typically the 2v heads are more desirable due to smaller combustion chambers resulting in higher compression ratio. (I know the Cleveland had 2v and 4v heads, but did the Windsor have this also???) My suggestion, find...

Joe, you are probably right, the numbers are quite surprising. The show leads you to believe these are stock engines. They even mention "no ringers." The HP figures were at the flywheel with open exhaust. They used 3rd party dyno's, however, they were not the same dyno for each engine...

Over Christmas, Speed channel ran a mini American Muscle Car marathon. Just got my new DVR and recorded all of them. One show was about the real horsepower vs stated horsepower of the muscle car engines. As you know, actual HP was understated due to insurance costs. I think this was a 1 of...

289/302 date and casting numbers are on the side of the block, covered by the starter. http://www.classicmustang.com/casting_numbers.htm
