Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
I am curious. Can someone (Rose Racing) or anyone that has a car like this weigh it and let us know what it weighs???
The one that I had was a low option car and I don't remember what it weighed. After all it was over 40 years ago.

LIMITED SUPPLY – (BLUEPRINTED) LATER STYLE “CHEATER” 67-73 UPPER CONTROL ARMS
$295.00 - Limited Supply - (Blueprinted) Later Style "Cheater" 67-73 Upper Control Arms quantity 1 ADD TO CART SKU: ORP-1126 Categories: 1960-1970 FALCON, 1960-1971 RANCHERO, 1960-1974 COMET, 1966-1971 FAIRLANE, 1967-1973 COUGAR, 1967-MUSTANG, 1968-1969 MUSTANG, 1968-1971 TORINO, 1970-1977 MAVERICK, 1970-MUSTANG, 1971-1973 MUSTANG, Drag Racing, Road Racing, Upper Control Arms Description Description This is a set of our ” Cheater ” upper arms. The term cheater refers to a trick the drag racers did to the Ford upper arms back in the day to make the shaft kit move smoother (look stock but not be stock). Anyone who has ever worked with these arms knows, they can be very stiff if they’re not put together properly. The racers will take the arms apart and spend a huge amount of time working the shaft and bushings until it worked smooth. Sometimes, they would be so smooth, you could move the shaft kit with just two fingers. We spend a lot of time on these arms and these are that smooth. Anybody run these or the double roller upper control arms? and what do you Cleveland guys run for roller rocker arms? |

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
https://opentrackerracing.com/ has all the rollerized front suspension stuff and it is excellent. I have been told that it is not legal in Stock, but is in SS, but who knows for sure? I used it on a 69 Mustang for SS/GT several years ago and the guy who did the front end alignment couldn't believe how well it worked.
If your interested in 429SCJ stuff, I have a bunch of it.

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
After looking at NHRA blueprints it says for 302 valves are 1.79 intake and 1.46 exhaust.... I'm sorry but this doesn't really sound right?

Re: 1971 Torino 500 2 door hardtop
George Reid's Ford Engine Parts Interchange lists all 302 heads from 68 to 78 as 1.78/1.45.
MustangTek agrees, http://www.mustangtek.com/heads/Heads.html Edit: So does Summit. Melling and Sealed Power stock replacement valves are these sizes up to 78.
