1988 Mustang With Engine Swap
-
This is an odd combo. GM engine in a ford. Did he allready have the pontaic engine and decided to put it in his car? In my opinion, he would have had better luck sticking with a sbf engine or even a bbf engine than going for a big block GM engine, especially one that isn't as popular as a big block chevy. I wonder if that thing goes like stink.

I don't think that car would have hit 9s if he did have slicks on his car.
-
Hell I only lost maybe 3 seconds max when I snubbed my car out at the track.
-
i never said it would hit 9's but the reason it ran shitty was because of no traction.

your telling me radial tires and a stock 5.0 i'm assuming? Put you into the 12's? show me the slip and i'll beleive you. As for the 88 i could care less if you think it's fast or or not. All i'm saying is 14's were not it's full potential i mean come on 462 CI in a notch i think would fair better than 14's thats just common sense.

i dont know about you but i had a stock suspension, radial tire mustang go into the mid 12's............. and with a stock motor, just admit it its slow!
This comes back to what you think is stock.Anything done performance-wise (i.e. headers) is considered not to be stock anymore.

if u would pay a little more attention i said stock motor, the car had bbk shorties edelbrock upper and lower intake 65mil t.b. and 65mil. mass air w/ 100 shot of squezze, the tire were a 245/50/16 nitto full belted dot approved radial
the car u speak of is junk, junk parts, junk motor, junk installation
that was the cars full potentional for what it was.......junk!
no dont get all high and mighty and pretend u know what ur talking about, uve been driving a car for what 1 year? -
Boy and here i thought you were a cool person ovbiously not. Your idea of stock is twisted and not what i was thinking of. And whether i've driven longer than one year is not what we're discussing. And as for the car...diss and rag on it all you want i dont care. I helped build it i know what its capable of and to think all of 14's is just uneducated a.k.a you.

"uneducated"? ive been racing/repairing/beating the shit out of cars before uve dreamed about driving a car, ive had 1000's of hours in vehicle repair training and im also an ASE certified technition, service consultant, and parts consultant
not usualy a dick here but when the B.S. starts to get a little to thick i tend not to sit back and let it fly
let see ive recently pick up a plymouth acclaim let's say it runs a 19 sec 1/4 mile a 19 sec shouldnt be "it's full potential" if droped let's say a million bucks into it, it would run 9's, but i wont drop that into it so basically it will always be a 19 sec car, that is the cars full potentional!
the car has a worn out motor with a 7.5 inch rear end in it, if it had power and/or traction it would brake so basically it has no potentional to be faster than 14's
THE END
