What do you guys think? Drag car or Street car?
MY PROJECT! a 79 - 93 Mustang w/ a Chevy 350ci/350hp SS Crate Engine, Summit Fabricated Valve Covers, Weiand Team G 7531 Intake, Quickfire Technologies Q-Series 750cfm Carb. Lemons Headers, 8 point roll cage. Do you guys think that sounds like it would be worthy of being a full time race car? OR Do you think I should just build it as a street car?

Re: What do you guys think? Drag car or Street car?
First of all the question is misleading at best. If you wanted an answer be more specific. This is mostly a class racer forum. If your looking for kudos for putting a Chevy engine into a Ford you wont find it here. If you have specific questions on building a class car most on here would be glad to help. Most on here wont find anything special about cross breading manufacturer componets. They are die hard fans of a paticular brand. What you have is either a bracket car or possably a 10.90 S/ST car or an over done street ride. Your choice. If you already built it then fine.....use it to your satisfaction. If you have not started the project I suggest you do not. Its still your choice. As far as Chevy engines in a Ford.....I guess some would say it would cost less and stay together longer. I recieved your email and started to tell you off but thought you most likely really dont know what your doing so I have responded in the best way I can and how I feel about a car such as this. Have a nice day.

Re: What do you guys think? Drag car or Street car?
Guy at my former local track runs a Mustang with a SBC...he has done very well with the car including multiple class championships. As for street or drag...thats up to you. If you can make it run on pump gas it could be a fun street car...although I'm not a fan of street racing myself.

Run 4.10 gears and a semi reasonable converter and you can drive it and bracket race it. But it won't be as consistent without a ton of gear and converter. Do you already have a race car? Then having a bracket car isn't that much use to you. If you don't, you need to get out there and get some win lights definitely build a race car.
