hi

I found a race ready 422 sbf (351w stroker) that run 9' in fox body stang the owner sold the car as a roller and now he wants to sell the engine and I'm thinking about dropping it in my Z28

is it alot of work to do or just engine mount and headers to figure out !!?

 

WHAT ???? PLEASE TELL ME I READ THIS WRONG !!!

 

being serious, I'd like to see you try it. I think it'd prove easier if you use a fabricated tubular crossmember, and while using an automatic would prove easier, I'd like to see you do it with a stick. The '05-up Mustangs come with a hydraulic clutch release setup, and those Shelbys have a very strong T56. I'd like to see you do that, because if I copied you, I'd be using the TR3650, as I'm not shooting for 9s.

 

I'll update you on this as soon as I get the engine

 

blaspheme!!!!!!

aside from that, if the motor does run 9's, in the 1/4? im sure its not a streetable motor, i dont know what you do with the car, but if its not a full on drag car i would pass.

Also, i believe ford motors have the oil pan sump in the front, i dont know how you would make that fit with the k-member without a TON of fab work.

 

Perfect for PINKS.

 

to '86 T/A, yes, most fords were front sump, but the 5.0 mustangs were sort of rear sump, and with a tubular k-member, it'd be easy. Ford Racing themselves, as well as Moroso and Milodon offer pans to put the 351W in the 5.0 mustangs.

 

probably wouldnt be too hard to fab up an oil pan. Its just a box with one side missing, and holes drilled in on the lip. Gonna have a tough time with the oil pickup though...

 

i say go for it! i'm not by any stretch of the imagination a ford fan but if you've got a B/A ford motor and want a fast camaro go for it. i've heard rumors of a 351 in tulsa running 10s in the 1/4 sounds pretty cool i cant wait to see the finished product!

 

A good reason to use existing pans and pickups, and play with the K-member instead. Unlike playing with the pan, playing with the K-member gives a chance to shave 10-40 pounds.
