The fact that this was a race car not legal for Stock when you bought it creates a Fall and Winter project for you. NHRA is very sticky about the parts used in Stock class engines and you need to make sure all the parts in your mill are legal. Go to NHRAracer.com and get the current Accepted Products List. It's rather short on SBF parts like cranks and rods and some of those listed aren't made anymore. Go through your engine and make sure your crank, rods, pistons, heads and valves are within legal specs for required parts. You need to be a member to get that document. If you aren't, you need membership for the rule book, anyway.

I think a member can post a link to the Products List, but I'm not sure. PM me with an email and I'll send you a copy of mine, but not the rule book. It's a PDF file.

OK, I'm still a newb at this, but who does documents flow on carbs ?

Re: 1985 Mustang GT help
 

As stated by many, get a rulebook. deff. can not run a tubular k member, has to be stock, 4 bangers and V8 work, make sure you get the factory control arms with the factory k member. I read an article in MM&FF years ago about a place in central FL that builds T-5 transmissions to handle more power, probably 10-12 years ago article. Jericho's and Liberty's are the choice but a Doug Nash/Richmond 5 speed can work if you find one cheap. Liberty can trick it out. Heavier than J or L. Find as many older articles on Project Stocker that Evan Smith built in MM&FF.

Dave,
Competition Carburation uses a flow bench. That's who blueprinted my carb.

Re: 1985 Mustang GT help
 

So it looks like the carb needs to be :

E5PE-BMA

OR

E5ZE-GA

MANIFOLD:

E4ZE-EA & GA......ALUMINUM??

HEADS:

E5AE-CA & GA


Am i reading this correct?

Re: 1985 Mustang GT help
 

You're right on the intake and cyl head #'s. All of the intakes for these are aluminum as well.

As long as the carb is a 4180 it does not have to be a year specific carb anymore. So don't get hung up on the carb casting number unless you're restoring.

My car has a GF5R, the T5 G-Force would be a huge waste of money for how much they cost, as they do not have inline shifters.

Astro Performance. https://www.astroperformance.com Tony is the one to talk to.
I put his innards in my '87 street/strip Mustang w/ a T5 about a year and a half ago. I don't know how his stuff would fare in a Stocker, but he's a great guy to deal with.
Plenty of info on the web about his A5. (A T5 with his stuff in it.) He'll sell you the parts, or an entire trans.

Anyone know if a boss service block is acceptable? It's a D1 or d2, haven't looked in a long time.

Re: 1985 Mustang GT help
 

The M-6010-BOSS302 block is the only replacement listed in the Accepted Products List thing.That covers Stock and Super Stock.

But ask your local tech. Ive been told that blocks aren't critical as long as the specs match the application.
