1990 Mustang As a FI/A Stocker

blownnova · 07-12-2007, 07:39 PM

New to this board. First post. I'm an active bracket racer and attend 4-6 National events and 3-4 divisional races each year. Recently attended Norwalk and Bristol. I'm looking to build a Stocker. I recently acquired a 1990 Mustang notchback, 5.0 L, 5 - speed car. Any idea what NHRA Fuel Injected class this car would compete in? I would convert it to an automatic for consistency. Would this combination be competitive, capable of running .75 - 1.0 second under the index? I know Josey, Warren and Rowe build and race competitive LT/LS-1 fuel injected combinations. Who are the comparable Ford engine builders? Any idea how much a competitive engine would cost? I know I have a lot of questions, but would hate to make a bad decision. Thought I'd tap into the expertise of knowledgeable members. Thanks

I believe it would be F/FIA, possibly E/FIA. you will have your hadns full with the 305 3rd gen F bodies

it would run F - H/FIA and it is plenty competitive. Could go more like 1.0 to 1.20 under if built right

"I would convert it to an automatic for consistency"
Really?

I have had great success using Jim Kuntz. The 5.0 H.O. combo rated at 215 with an automatic transmission can run well past 1.0 under if done right. And it can go .5-.7 under for less than $10,000 total investment.
