Mark Markow · 08-31-2016, 02:54 PM

I have a customer considering building a ford ss/gt car. whats a good eng. combo. he is looking to stick with a winsdor. based eng. . 289,302, 351? he's looking for something with a favorable hp. rating. so he can get his feet wet.

loosely based on the Windsor would be the 352 from the 2010 Cobrajet.

Mark - How about an early Mustang with a 289 for SS/LA?

Mark, I'd look at the 1964 352 , with Edelbrock heads.
I know it's an FE, but if he's a real FFFFord guy, he'll love it.
The 64-5 -6-7 289 Comet engine is okay, as is the 68 302 4 bbl., I believe .
I think the 69 351W is too high, but maybe not.

My favorite GT combo is the '68 302 4 bbl Mustang @ 230 hp I believe

I just looked at the 69 W ,that is now 260 ,rather than 290..I'd seriously look at that one.

The 85 combo or the 352 crate combo from Ford. The FE 352 is a good combo as well
