Default Re: 2010 Mustang Stocker

Hey Scott,
Welcome to NHRA I know you are or were a NMRA guy for quite awhile. If you click on the NHRA Competition link in the header above and then go to stock car classification guide then go to Ford 2010, Mustang it will give you the NHRA accepted options for that year, make and model. The 352 and the 428 options for this year were paper motors that came in the 2010 Cobra Jets only. These are pushrod motors the 352 is a 302 based engine and the 428 is a 351 based engine. In the same area were you find the stock car classification guide is also the engine blueprint/spec guide. Do the same there Ford, 2010 and it will list part numbers and specs for the engine of your choice. Hope that helps.

Yep. Thank you Sir, that does help.

But I still feel like I'm missing something. What do you mean by "paper motor"? I'm fairly sure I was unable to buy/order a 2010 mustang with a 428 in it back in 2010. I guess I'm not understanding why that engine is legal in stock if I wasn't able to buy a car like that, special production run or not, from Ford in 2010?

Thanks again for your help. Sorry for the amateur questions.

Scott

It's not a requirement that a certain engine be available from the factory in a certain model anymore. Not like the old days.

Confusing, yes.
All Ford did was submit specs for the 352 and 428 to NHRA and they (NHRA) approved an engine combo that only existed on "paper". Hence the paper motor reference. Ford never built those engines.

As posted above:
352 is a 302 block poked and stroked with Z304 Ford Racing heads and a 4 -blade throttle body.
In stock there has to be the correct part numbers on the intake, t.b., heads and of course the pistons and rods have to be to spec. (among other specs listed in the engine blueprint sheet for the 2010 Ford engines)

That engine is built pretty much from the Ford Racing catalog, for the most part.

To the o.p.:
Congrats on having a 2010 CJ Mustang. Have fun with it !

It's a crate motor. Ford didn't even make a pushrod motor for a passenger car in 2010.

Alan, Your are incorrect, Ford did built the 352 and the 428 in the 2010 CJ's. That are not just built on paper.

Scott, these Cobra Jets are purpose built cars for stock, just as the Challenger's and Camaros' are. The text below comes right from the NHRA rule book.

"OEM may apply for inclusion of any special production runs into the Official NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide. Special run must include a minimum of 50 units of an already accepted body style, need not be showroom available. Applications evaluated on an individual basis. Acceptance will not imply precedent."

I hope this clears things up.

Thanks for clarifying that Ken.
I stand corrected.
I knew guys were buying the non pushrod engine cars turnkey. Just never heard of anyone getting a 352 or 428 turnkey.

Chris Holbrock's car was originally a 352 car and John Calvert's car is a 428 car. Now I'm not sure if both or either of these were original CJ's from Ford but I thought they were.

Does anyone happen to have a spare 2010 CJ hood they aren't using? I've had one on order for months but found out today that they are no longer available from Ford.

Thanks,
Bob
