Match Race ~ 1968 Road Runner '383' vs. 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT '390'

Easy there 'Pishta'

Back in 1966, a set-up Mercury Cyclone GT 390 could run near
'dead-nuts' on 13.00's in C/Stock.

They were very competitive in C/S and C/SA back then.

My Ford buddy in high school had his dads old Cyclone GT 390. Motor was on its last legs so we pulled it and put a 302, then a Cleveland with 2bbl heads and a 4bbl intake. Erson Hi-flow 2 cam and it ran like a scalded dog. He had that car for years and finally found a set of 4v heads. Stroked the 351 to 392 and installed EFI and it was even faster. Sold the motor last year in a 67 Mustang after 28 years. I enjoy these posts.
