This car is a 76 Ghia. It has a 351 windsor, comp cam extream energy cam, i think EX-256, a factory four barrel manifold with 750 performer carb, 3 speed auto with 2.79 gears. and 302 heads from the 76 302. stock exaust manifolds and dual 1.75" exaust. Keep in mind the car weighs 2700 lbs. and the factory 13" rims with crappy tires.

 

a 76 vw karman ghia w/a 351? that thing is going to be pretty fast....
think...300+ hp civic...it'll roll.

 

No, he's talking about a 1976 Mustang II Ghia. Well, considering those cars took well over 13 seconds to get to sixty, a built 351 will make it noticably faster.

The 70s gas crisis was a power killer. It killed the true musclecar. He is using the 302 heads, exhaust, and the stock intake manifold? Those are really hurting performance. I'd say with those factors in mind, he would run a high 15/low 16. Those factory pieces are VERY restrictive. Much like a TBI. I know people that want to re-use my old heads, when I get my 302 built. Someone already paid me 100 bucks for the old intake. They put it on their 355. .

Like said before using the stock intake and manifolds is killing the power of this motor. And the tires definately aren't helping with such a light car. No matter how much power the motor has bad tires will just leave you spinning.
