Toolmanmike Add to that 300HP 318 a set of 3.73 gears with a sure grip and a built A999 or A500 42RH with numerically lower 1st gear in a 3,000 lb A body that's quite a fun combo.
I have about 325hp in my 07 mustang GT with 3.55s and a 5 speed. The car weighs about 3,800 lbs I believe, and it ain't no slouch. I imagine the combo above would be just as much fun.
My opinion but I think sometimes people reach a point with building engines that eventually they get stuffed with too much cam and too much compression they just arent livable on the street or even enjoyable anymore. Idle like ****, and only good at WOT. Personally I love decent power, a little chop to the idle, but something that's for the most part "civilized" on the street.
Again my opinion, I like something with power that can idle at a stoplight without sounding like its gonna stall. I like stuff that's fast and user friendly. Not something you got to beat with a whip just to get it out of the garage.
