Re: 1972 Mustang CJ pure
Is your engine the factory rated 266HP or 275?
There are several guys that are running various 351C combos in stock. Garry Glazener in Div 2 has beat on this combo for years. Also Bill McClister in Div 4 has run this combo and has gone a second under this year. Nitro Joes stats also show Steve Kathary in Div 7 running this engine. All of these are in E/SA although Garry runs his in F/SA occasionally too.
I think Tex Miller used to run his Mustang as a '72 with this engine, but it is listed as a '71 recently, but still with the 351C. He has also beat on this combo for a long time.
Note that this engine has been hit with a lot of HP over the years. The 266HP engine is now at 328Hp with an automatic, 319 with a stick. The 275 engine is rated at 325 for the automatic and 330Hp with a stick. It is interesting that the 275/325 engine with an additional point of compression and a bigger, mechanical cam is rated lower than the 266/328 for automatics.
