Pretty much how I am going to go Vic except I want forged flat top pistons. I have ported RPM Performer heads that basically match the flow numbers of Vic juniors. I also have a ported Air Gap. I am planning on the Comp Cams 35-426-8 cam shaft.

the 9.48” deck height seems to be a limiting factor. I want to use a cast crank, 6.2” forged I beam rods, ugraded bolts, and flat top pistons that will give me a 10.5 CR using edelbrock Performer RPM heads. there was a stroker place based on the East Coast that shut down in the last few years that I was planning to purchase from that talked me through the process and was going to mix and match according to my needs but I wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger on it at the time and now that I am, he is gone. Any suggestions?

Just look at Remington and Colt and what the PE vultures did to them.

I don’t wish to seem indelicate here, but your question does call for the subjunctive.

So it is a standard base circle. I am shopping around getting my engine stroked and talked to a guy who claimed to have built several engines over the years and he assured me that these retrofit cams were reduced base circle cams and whoever told me I could use a standard base circle cam on a 1969 block did not know what he was talking about. Mild panic set in. I later called to comp which told me that all these cams are std. base circle cams and a reduced base circle cam would have to be special ordered and that these work in a 1969 block when using link bar lifters (which I have). I then perused the ford racing parts catalog and noticed this about the X303 cam The legendary X303 cam developed by Ford Performance for the 5.0L Fox-body Mustang. This cam provides a noticeable power improvement and lumpy idle while maintaining good driveability with a manual transmission. Works well with carburetors or mass air fuel injection. Fits 1985 and later 302 roller cam blocks Will also fit 1963-1984 non-roller cam 289-302 blocks when used with hydraulic roller lifters Will also fit 1994-1997 351W blocks with factory roller cam Will also fit 1969-1993 non-roller cam 351W blocks when used with hydraulic roller lifters needless to say, this guy will not be building my stroker.

I know that when retrofitting a roller cam on a pre-roller cam block, you can either use a spider and dog bone to run a reduced base circle cam OR a reduced base circle cam or a standard base circle cam when using link bar lifters. This brings me to the comp cams hydraulic cams such as this one: https://www.compcams.com/xtreme-energy-236-240-hydraulic-roller-cam-for-ford-351w.html#tab2.tab2 does anyone know if this is a reduced base circle or standard base circle cam?

these are the only pics I have from when I had an X junction installed. The pics were more geared towards the exhaust than capturing the subframes but hopefully you might be able to glean something.. My car was on a lift Tuesday and if I had seen your post earlier, I could have taken pics. This is from before the accident. The subframes were the only thing that kept the car from ripping in half

sorry for your loss. I have a PWR radiator that is a direct fit and I use a 2500 CFM pusher fan. I am running a hot 351 build that has 11:1 CR and a roller cam that makes 355 hp at the rear wheels and my engine never gets about 180. Even when sitting in traffic on a 90 deg day. PWR also makes direct fit radiators that have built in tranny coolers. They are available from https://www.crracing.com

are you saying you need an electric fan or you do not want an electric fan?

Nice. I have the magnaflow 2.5” system. I don’t have a video of me buzzing the tower yet but you get an idea of what mine sounds like https://youtu.be/y4ySeB3GwoQ

Holy cow. Those are the US prices. I got mine in 2007 for $399. It is now $999. Had the price gone up only by inflation, the 2020 price would be $495

I have this radiator from Oz. It looks like the US distributor is out of business but somebody else has to have them stateside. I can swear by this radiator. Note that the price is in dollary-doos so the US price is lower https://www.crracing.com/product/ford-mustang-1967-70-extruded-tube-crossflow-radiator-sbf-bbf

disgusting.

can you tell me a little bit about how you lowered your car?
