Hey buddie if you think about it the more horse the less traction and its was not a stock 455 it had quite a bit of buildups on it. it was not just some plane jane motor set in a stock mustang. and for your info its not a 7.5 rear end we switched the rear end to a 8.8 with 3.73 gears. it has 4x heads on it .30 over low end was built. it was origanally built for turbos so it is running really low compression. Edelbrock intake and carb. it has a 295 advance duration an a 534 gross lift. this was not stock so dont talk shit unless you know what you are talking about. you wanna talk to the people who built it call 701-729-2379
Not to be a dick either, but I have customers running 8.60s on built 8.8 w/ all ford suspension on 10 in tires. I'm not sure, but I would bet the 455 in that car doesn't have more than the 770 hp and 700+ torque (to the wheels of course)-
Guys are running low 8's on drag radials everyday and you can't hook up a 14 sec ride (what's the MPH- we'll tell you how much HP it has)??? Maybe I'm misinformed, but until then I'm with turbo 5.0.
If the car has a low compression 455 (which are turds anyway) and only a 534 lift with ??? LSA, I'm guessing it would put about 230 HP down and 290 tq. Just a guess- and I am not a smart man, but I saw it on TV once and figured this combo would fall right in there. 😉

GO MIKEY!!!!

I think there are some pretty good fabricators on this forum board......how many people have done this?

I dont know why anyone would ever want to put a pontiac engine in a Ford anyways....

All things considered it def did not run what it should of but who cares? Josh isnt selling the car based on 1/4 times so no need to discuss them any further.

FYI the engine was rebuilt so worn out is not quite the right word description. As for it breaking not likley though it may not have brand spankin new everything in it we made sure if it hooked nothing would snap. Now if your done throwing a fit i think we can both stop whoring this thread and let bygones be bygones.

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
