What do you guys think, stock vs stock?

I think the Stang.....

what kind of engines in the stang and camaro are we talking about?

 

depends on what years, Injection(TPI, TBI, or Carbed) and transmissions of both,and rear gears

------------------
1998 Ford Ranger 3.0 Cold air intake and flowmaster exhaust.
FOR SALE: 1995 Red T-Top Camaro...Got a ticket, now my insurance is too high...
1989 5.0 RS

 

if the stang is and auto and you have a tpi 305 it would be a good showdown, but if he has a 5 speed he will annialate the 305

 

I read an old article from 89 and a 5-speed 5.0 stang beat a 5-speed TPI 305. I think that the 90-92 305's would destroy a stang because they had 230 HP and the stangs had the same 5.0 engine; from 89.

88 Formula 350
Upper and Lower SuperRam, 1000 CFM Accel Throttle Body, ZZ4 cam, 24# Motorsport Injectors, Larger Gutted Mass Sensor, Homemade Cold Air induction, Custom Burned PROM, MSD 6a box, MSD Distributor, Accel SuperCoil, Taylor 8mm wires, TB Bypass, B&M shift Kit, 160* Thermostat, Flowmaster Muffler,

 

Like everyone said, there are too many different versions of the 305. A later year TPI 305 is about even with a 5.0 as far as power goes, but the ford has more high rpm ability than TPI ever will (unless seriously modded). Just because they are about the same size though dosen't mean they should be even. The ford is a short stroke big bore engine, good for HP. Ours is a long stroke small piston, good for torque but not hp. All around the Ford 302 is much better than the 305. But now the old (rare) GM 302... those are way badass.

88 Camaro (The mighty LO3 SC!)
305TBI/700R4/2.73/123,XXX miles
14" Open Element and Flowmaster 80 seires

Next up: headers and gears

 

It depends. Some Third Gen 305's aren't fast but some are, the faster 5.0 TPI's are the 85 305 autos and the 305 5 Speeds with G92.

------------------
89 RS

STILL Looking For:
An 87 IROC-Z28 350 TPI

Yeah I have an RS, but I want an IROC-Z!!

 

An early 90's auto stang vs a tpi 305 should be pretty close if you can drive, but other than that the 305 should get smoked.

 

If you mean the LG4 in your '84 and its against an EFI '86-up (or even an earlier carbed GT), don't even waste your gas racing him

yay!
haha, btw, who ever called the GM 302's badass, lmfao, they're slow, my dad has one in his 79 firebird..with 50k miles, all orignal and is PERFECT, but it still an EXTREMELY slow car

 

You might be thinking of a Pontiac 301 motor, which is quite lame compared to a DZ-302 motor. In 1969 they had the 302 in the Z/28 because SCCA mandated that the most c.i.d. a motor could "legally" be to race is 305. They took a 327 block, various sets of heads, and a 265/283 crankshaft, which made this motor a 9000 rpm revvin' beast!

301 Turbo V8s are even slow. But the DZ302 isn't. The 302 is a great motor. The 67-69 Z/28s were very fast cars, the 69 being the best.

YES YES YES
definitely talking about the 301, SORRY, i typed that early in the morning, lol, yea, i dont know about the 302's, but my dad's 301 is a dog

 

Hey! dummy! they didn't have Chevy 302's in 79 and even if they did I doubt a 79 PONTIAC would have a chevy motor in it "orginal". A 302 chevy was only available in the late 60's and was created because chevy had ton of 283 internals laying around so they destroked a 327. You could rev them to around 7500 rpm's and they did scream!! So nice try poser.

 

Man, guess I was cranky. Sorry, I guess every one makes mistake--I even owned an Import..

 

belive it or not the 79-81 firebird series car had probley more engine options then any other, they could have the 400 pontiac, 403 olds, 231 v-6 buick, 305 chevy, 301 pontiac, or the turbo 301 pontiac. kinda goofy back then in the late 70's the 79' had the 400 pontiac for the first part of 79' and the high altitue and smog areas got the 403 olds, the late half of 79-81 had the 301 with optional 301 turbo and the smog areas belive it or not got the 305 chevy, also the v-6 buick on the base models,
