Default RE: Aint no show car its a MUSTANG

Thanks for the memories. I had a '73 Cougar that I drove for 5 years fresh out of high school. It was 351C/C4FMX auto. I did a lot of work on it. Intalled '71 quench type 4V heads. These were from a 351CJ. Street Dominator intake. Headers and a mild cam. The problem was the 4V heads. The ports and valves were so big it had no bottom end. From 3,000 up hang on. From idle to 3,000 it was a little soft. In town it was a lot of fun. From a roll I could pull it down into first and stand on it. It would pin you in the seat pretty good. The factory tach only went to 6,000. I would shift it when the needle hit 6,000. The valves would float just past that anyway. Lots of fun!!
