I am thinking of trying my hand at SS/CX with a real light Mustang and a 4 cyl. anyone have any advice?

What head? cam recomendations?, trans?.... car was 2410 with me and a aluminum headed SBF, so I figure it sould right around 2000# even maybe lighter with the 4 cyl. CX is 12.5 Lbs/Cu.

Anyone????

I don't know if you could get the car light enough. How about SS/ES or FS 4 cylinder rwd 15.5 and 16.5 pounds per inch.

Art: I looked at those classes as well, but from what I read into the rule book, I can run Fiberglass doors, deck, front end in CX.

Everything but the doors is legal in E-G modified stock

Jim Caughlin is the man to talk to. His Pinto and now Escort run SS/FS and have held the record for years. Good guy to talk to. He's listed as a member. Although he doesn't post a lot he does visit this board frequently.

Thanks guys.... the car is too far gone for Modified Stock, it has a tubular front end, and a bunch of light wieght components.. the car was originaly built for NMRA Hot Street, then I added the glass doors...

I know in CX I can run the car the way it is, maybe a little heavier than I want, but it will do till the new all tube chassis car is done.
