Drag Racing Newbie, Building 1970 Mustang
This car is an original 1970 Boss 302 Mustang, took the motor out for preservation and there is an 1/8 mile drag strip locally. I am building this car for street/strip application. Currently having a 347 Stroker built, all forged crank, rods, pistons. Aluminum Dart Pro 1 Heads, Edelbrock Air Gap RPM Intake, Hooker Procomp Headers, March Pulley Kit w/ Serpentine Belt, 670 Holley Street Avenger Carb, Wapp Distributor w/50,000v coil, MSD Sport Compact Distributor w/ Rev Limiter. Motor is supposed to Dyno 430H 444Ftlb torque. Putting on Steet Slicks with Wrinkle Wall, and it has a factory Hurst 4-Speed. Next is the Gears, I know I'm going to put Powertrax No-slip Traction System Differential so that it will slip around corners but not under a load like high acceleration. I believe it has factory 3.50 Gears in it. What would be a good choice for a gear? Keep in mind street and strip application. Ford 9" Rear End 3.70, 3.89, 4.11...I don't know, I was kind of thinking 3.89 but I'm just learning most of this stuff. Oh Yeah, and a Fidanza 13Lb Flywheel and Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch...Is this sounding good or what. I'm not interested in running NOS or Turbo, just good old american power. Plus I want my engine to last.
