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.

That still does not make up for the fact that you had to put your two cents in and contribute to shooting me down, that is not why i joined this forum. I strictly joined this forum so I could get advice and ideas from other racers, NOT to be shot down and humiliated. And for your information rayfin I am NOT dreaming i have an 89 cobra it IS set up for a sbc, AND that sbc IS being built for me as WE speak. So you can keep being jerks to me all you want thats fine. I will be the better person here and I will say nothing more, because I am not here to argue.

oh and i might wana add this too. i DID post this in the bracket portion of the forum NOT THE 10.90 INDEX FORUM. cant street cars bracket race? I thought that they could do that?

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.

You don't read this place much do you? That is mostly what goes on here.

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.

It all fell into place when you said you just turned 18.Good for you ,you have alot of ambition but you need to have a thick skin to get through life.If you're going to race seriously putting a sbc in a moostang is a minor thing.Go to the class section.Now there's some really serious **** going on there.I wouldn't recommend the lounge yet.We eat 18 year olds for breakfast.Right Sean?
All in fun.

yeah i've always wanted to build one lol growing up around my dad racing and my grandpa and his barret-jackson quality street rods it got to me lol i kept telling myself when i was about 12 or 13 im gonna do that some day. i wana make drag racing a career! and i've gone to every nhra event at heartland park topeka for the past 5 years and the division 5 races. but i know that if i wanted to compete in those it would have to be the super street catagory since im planning on running the chevy in the ford setup. i know all that crap. i did a **** load of research on it. reading the whole damn nhra rulebook lol but for now since im not the richest gearhead in the world the chevy engine is cheap for me and the mustang body is too, and so i just put two and two together and here i am. i know im not gonna be running 10 second passes and im not gonna be able to compete in the nhra competition so thats why i posted in the bracket forum cause i know i can compete bracket races. lol and i'll take your word on it about the 4.10 gears.
