Billy a few years ago there was a 255 mustang that was like .-3 after lots of work. The tiny ports on a 255 are laughable.
I think I saw it in Nitro's Joes Stats.
"Red" comes to mind for some reason, either the mustang was red or the guys name was red...or was it "Rich"....

I got "craft" disease, Can't Remember A Fing Thing.

Joe, yes the 221 was the original windsor before boring/stroking up to 302, but I think it only had the fordomatic tranny which was replaced by the c4 in 64 or 65. I think the last year of the 221 was 63. But, the 289 had 5 bolts in 64 and the c4 started in 64..so maybe there was a 64 5 bolt c4 for a 289? But I really don't think so. I'd say it would have to be aftermarket.
