Class question
 

Curious as too where a 91 mustang 5.0 ho would fit in stock?

Re: Class question
 

Should be a L, M, or N class car depending on whether it is a coupe, hatch, or convertible.
Stick or Automatic ?

Was a stick, but I installed a c4....and I converted it from fuel injection too carb. I know that prob changes things a lot.

Thank's Mark that page was helpful.

Re: Class question
 

Might be tough to pass that '91 off as a '85 body style for a carb.

Re: Class question
 

Yep.
You will have to change the front nose, interior dash assy. (and door panels), the side quarter windows as well as the tail lights to make it appear as an '85.

Here are the numbers for an '85 Mustang

A 4 barrel carbed 85 Mustang 5.0 is a stick only combo, in addition to all the body changes to convert a 91 to a 85, the 85 engine also uses different head castings, pistons, not to mention you need to use the correct Ford E4 intake manifold and an approved carb. The easiest way for this car to run in Stock would be to put the EFI back on, and run it as a 87 thru 93 Mustang, which is legal with either a stick or automatic, plus you would not need to find,paint and install the 85 body panels and interior. You may want to give this effort some serious consideration and do some research before turning a wrench.

I totally agree with Rory ^^^
Good advice.

By all means, join the efi tuning ranks...it's so easy. :D :rolleyes:

Re: Class question
 

In a nutshell, whatever year you claim the car to be. Body, interior and engine has to match as it came from the factory. The NHRA engine blueprint also lists the approved casting numbers that are mandatory to match year claimed. Camshaft cannot exceed the lift as specified in the blueprint guide. OEM EGR plate has to be in place if it was a factory piece. Lots of rules to abide by. If you want to throw go fast parts at a car then Stock is not for you. If you like a challenge at making something faster with OEM parts then jump in the water is fine! Just keep in mind making these cars competitive is not for the faint of heart or wallet! Its good to ask questions, and even better to go into this with a very well thought out plan before acquiring parts.
