Good luck on your build. I ran my 85 at Milan last week. My motor is a stocker that I bought for $250 to get the car on the road. My buddy gave me some 1.7 roller rockers so I put those on. It also has a 1/2" intake spacer. I call it my wanna-be stocker. Its not fancy or a show car by any means but I have fun with it. It's a pretty simple setup in my opinion. The DA was about -100' on this pass. I included a link at the bottom which is a video of my car. Also, I have a few other ideas for it so it should be in the 12's soon- without touching the motor. It weighs 2760lbs race ready minus driver.

It went:
1.81-60'
5.293-330'
7.724-594
8.268 @ 82.71mph-660'
12.61-1254'
13.05 @ 101.45-1320'

Would make an excellent Pure Stocker

If you are going to build a 85 5.0 4 barrel Mustang for Stock, I sold my 85 a few months ago, and although the buyer did get the car with the Stocker engine, he is just going to bracket race it with an automatic, so I still have some extra stuff left over. I know I have several sets of E5 core cylinder heads, at least 1 or 2 correct 4 barrel intake manifolds, several 4180 carbs, and EGR/spacer plates and heat shields etc. If you wanted to run it, I also have the factory dual snorkle cold air air cleaner assembly with the ram air tubes. What type of clutch & trans do you plan to run?

Is s/s a viable option for these cars?

Looks like edelbrock is the head, and its offered with 2 different exhuast ports?

What manifold is allowed?
