B/SA 1969 Mustang

The engine has been out a long time. Tomorrow I will take the bellhousing and starter to my engine builder so he can install it on his dyno Monday. Tuesday or Wednesday we should be making a few dyno pulls. The engine is for B/SA with cast iron heads and intake.

Great looking machine Rusty! Would love to see some video of it in action.

Very nice Rusty!!! I've been thinking about putting up a build thread for ours as well. Who's motor mounts are you running there?

How much power is needed to be competitive?

To run with the some of the faster 396 69 camaros I would say it needs to make around 560.

I don't plan on running any NHRA events with this car maybe a few IHRA so the HP really doesn't matter as long as it will run under the index I will be happy.
