I think in needs to be gutted then full caged. 9" rear, power glide, and 360CI with a big single turbo. That would get you to the pavilions quicker.

Naturally aspirated around 400hp and then maybe a Turbo down the road or a whipple.. Budget right now is around $5000.. I really want driva-ability to be the number 1 but also like to go faster!!!!

Naturally aspirated, 400 Hp, drivablity #1 priority, for around $5000. Defintly look at a 351 (Emissions won't be a problem with the Car registered in PA), or maybe a 347 stroker (Would fool alot of people, and be a torque monster!). Cylinder heads, get expen$ive fa$t, might find a good set at a reasonable price online! Originally Posted by Jacostang

Would the $5000 include driveline upgrades? Remember drivablity! No fun sitting on the side of the road with a trashed transmission, or burned up clutch! Ford just listed a new T-5 in the Motorsports Catalog that is rated at 330 lbs of torque. Easy enough to build up a 8.8 rear end to hold up to the task.
Think I may have opened up a new can of worms here!
