the bigger valves ended that idea dead in its tracks

Nick Morris runs a 98 Mustang with that combo. runs GT Jor K I think. Have not seen the car. I think he was the only Morris that did not come to Clay City this year. Of course I think he is the only one with a Ford as well.

The 600 Holley legal for the Mercury is a 4150 series.

If you can find a carb and a set of bare head castings, you could get yours ready.

I've never met anyone who ran that combo, not saying that it has potential. The most common little Ford is the '64 210 hp 289. C5E heads, I don't remember the carb numbers, there are two versions of the Autolite that run that combo. Talk to Alex Denysenko. Gary & Bill Williams in California are the best source for a legal SS Autolite. Ken Miele is the only Ford racer I've known who had run a 302 in a late model Mustang, but I believe it was a 1984 302.

Nick Morris did run the 68 302 in his '98 this year. I remember talking to him late last year when he had a later model 302 in the car and the plan was to give the 68 version a try. I see in Nitro-Joes stats that he has been a second under in GT/KA and about 9 tenths under in GT/LA and GT/MA. Pretty good for a first year program. Of course he and his dad keep that car so meticulously clean that it probably picks up a tenth or so just from pride alone!

Do you guys think the combo would be better if I used a 1970's 460? I have one of them sitting here as well, I can have the head work done and put in the car well before the first divisional.
