    Thank you guys! I think I will order the Howards cam barnett468 recommended.

    Sorry that I forget half of my suspension data. I have the Bilstein shocks front and rear plus 4.5 leaf mid eye springs in the rear, but the wrong shackles installed atm. The front springs are Grab-A-Trak progressive springs. The car seems a little high, but there's no engine installed right now. Subframe connectors are not allowed on cars with historical registration in Germany but I have a rear stabilizer bar also. lca reinforment plates are waiting to be installed in the winter.

    I think the setup is not that bad for a classic mustang :-)

    I see you have a shaker hood, just bare in mind that the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake is nearly an inch taller than the standard performer, so may or maybe not be a height issue.

    Good point! I thought about getting adjustable engine mounts before, but will test fit that setup first.

    This cam with 1.72 rocker arms and around 10.5 compression will let you run 110 mph pretty easily, but you need high octane gas equivalent to or higher than around the us 98 rm/2 octane rating.

    here's another

    I would use the crane anti pump up lifters with it and group IV or group V oil.

    I would also do several other engine mods.

     

    Ok so let's drop that speed limit thing, I'll save that for the stroker ;-) 90-100 mph should be possible with a more conservative camshaft, right? I do enjoy daily driving in summer nd the car should be streetable too.

    I really don't know much about cams, but what can I expect from a Comp XE262H:

    It's a bit more conservative in all manners but isn't that more drivable?

    My suspension specs:
    Moog LCA & UCA
    Roller spring perches by Open Tracker
    Shelby Drop
    1" stabilizer bar
    Zray's crossmember
    Export brace
    Monte Carlo bar

    I'm not sure if that is a roller block...I'm assuming it is. Your build is similar to mine. I have a 351w roller block (RHS heads) with a T5 and 3.89 gears. I settled on the comp cams xe274HR which works well. Idle is a little lopey, but very drivable on a day to day basis and it pulls strong up to about 6000 rpm. Specs are at the link below.

    It‘s not a roller block. 1988 was one of the first EFIs. I will change it to a carb intake. I have an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and an 650 AVS carb. 

    For the German highway speeds, i should be able to go 100-120 mph (won‘t go that fast often though).

    I'm getting a stock 1988 351W from an Econoline van and would like to put it in my Mach 1. For a little bit more power I have a pair of Windsor jr. iron heads and Hooker Super Competition Headers, hoping to raise the compression to about 9.3-9.5:1 with the heads. It's a 5-speed car with 3.55:1 differential. 

    My intention is to drive it on the street and take it to a race track 1-2 times in a year. What cams would you recommend? It should be a budget build, because the plan is to put a 393W stroker in the engine bay in about 2 years.

    Any help is appreciated!

    I'm in the process of putting my Mach 1 back together. I bought the NPD bumpers in 2013, they are from Golden Legion. 
    I don't know if these are the "good ones" already, but I'm not completely happy with the rear bumper. It's pretty light and I think it's wider than it's supposed to be.
    I haven't checked the front bumper yet, though... Does NPD have another set of bumpers now? The part numbers are the same today and when I ordered them.
