    Rear valance opinion..

    my two cents, and this is all personal opinion to everyones preference. i think the cs rear looks way better. i have always thought the 69 shelbys steered away from the mustang style.

    when i say high rpms, i'm talking above 6000 rpm. if your going to stroke a 302,( if your not tryng to keep stock appearance) why not go with a 351w or 351c? they have stoker kits for 351c over 4 inch a 360, or 352 stroked with a 428 crank gives you 410 ci and much more torque, than boreing the...

    Trashed 289 - now what?

    the purpose of stroking an engine, in my book, isn't to get cubic inch, it is for torque. a short stroke will get you horse power at massive rpms, a long stroke will get you torque at lower rpms, hence: mileage with the right cam and rear end gears

    Trashed 289 - now what?

    Heliaster, fyi, i have verified with marti auto, there were only 75 gt/cs cars built with a 4spd trans and a locking diff. and thats with any engine, mine is a j code 4spd with locking diff. i would sleeve your 289 block and put it back as exact as your able. then if you want more ponys, i...

    Anticipation is killing me!

    i haven't hit that mark yet, i'm at 7 weeks going on 8, mine is waiting for fr packs, i can't accept delivery until there done, (warrenty) so it sits at the dealer. it's harder than i thought, but your not alone, (anticipation) that ketchup commercial is peanuts compared to this.

    Factory GT or Mutant GT

    i think mileage would be the determining factor for me, if i had a cs with 10,000 original miles i would be afraid to change anything. you don't see low mile original cars very often. but the suspension parts can be changed back to factory setup so i don't think the permanent value of the car...
