BlowinUp54B's Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) 351w + nitrous = yes? What do ya'll think? I don't wanna spend the money on building a 2.6 again, so I'm thinking 351w + cam + pistons/rods + 250 shot. Stock Blown Starion struts/stock springs, and some 255 drag radials. YES? I know it's a few inches wider than the 302 but it'll fit.... with some gregs custom headers Edited July 18, 2010 by BlowinUp54B's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebird Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 would love to see some pics of the progress. Get that 2.6 the crap away from that car!!!! some will argue all day about how great of an engine the 2.6 is,....Some will also sell you a mustang and make you believe its a horse. Really its a turbo thing....the only reason someone would think the 2.6 is great!Take the turbo off and its a fork lift engine that goes to the scrap yard.Love it's a beautiful thing I once was in 2.6 love myself Really though I have a black 86 im doing another swap on and may do a ford this time.So Im always looking for info......Post it up with pics man!!!!!!!!!

It's a upcoming project, gotta wait for all of the money to come in. I have a shell, but it will be about 4-5 months before I start cutting everything.. I will take a ton of pictures for you, and everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strang3majik Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 it'd be cool. But, if you want real power, I say a Mopar 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx152 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 what r u gonna do about a rear end? i cant imagine the stock rear being reliable on a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Stock rearend have held 600+ hp. I dont see why it cant take a bottle fed 351. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx152 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 what do the axles hold though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx152 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 and are you doing a aftermarket head? or anything those stock heads are terrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 i dont think the rear end will be much of an issue.when an irs car launches it throws the camber out so theres less traction.but ive gotten 1.8 60 ft times with mine and no issues.just dont try 5 grand clutch dumps with slicks on.

Dave-O Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I wonder how well the stock rear will handle clutch kicks though ... Sounds like a fun project idea, git-r-done! My Mustang in high school was just a 306 on the bottle, and it walked on everything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgandy Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) gt40 heads and a procharger. no bottle. FTW!!! what tranny?? t5? 45 or 56? Edited December 6, 2010 by Ron Burgandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conquest351 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I had one with a 351-W in it. Got rid of it before the project was completed. This was back in the early 2000's though. Don't know how far back the board goes, but I believe I had a few pix up of it. From what I recall, it's still around the Houston area awaiting completion still. I'd kinda like to get it back, but kinda not. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
