87 iroc: 5.7 350, 700r4, 3.23 gears, hooker exhaust, 1.6 roller rockers, standard bolt ons.

vs.

70 cougar: 351 Cleveland, C6, somewhere around 3-3.50 gear ratio, full exhaust

both cars weigh right around the same.....let say 1/8 and 1/4 mile race. Whatdo u guys think?.

 

351 Clevelands are boat anchors!!!

The '87 IROC would take it no problem!

 

i never raced one with a 351, but i have killed 2 of them with 302s. you should kill him him rather easily unless he has a built motor

 

Hes restoring it...So im not sure if the motor is going to be rebuilt to factory specs or performance built. Either way....Whats a good bolt on that will help me in smoking this Ford crap??

Hes my good friend, and Ive been talking way too much smack to lose this one.

 

if you have about two weekends up time you can do all the free mods and get a set of runners and help the l98 get some top end. the l98 will be able to keep up aoff the line but more then likely he will catch up quickly. if you have some cash you can also load up a 75 shot of n20 and spray 2nd gear

 

lmao, sounds like your racing my dad. its a dog in stock form as far as i know, he's never let me drive it. but the brakes put ya through the windshield.
