Alan,

I ran that combo at a couple races in 2008. Went a 10.75 on the 11.25 A/S index. So that won't fly in your discussion. Wish I still had the car, LOTS of potential!!

1971 Boss 351 mustang......wait I am dreaming

when was the last time you seen one of them go down the track?

JRyan · 12-07-2016, 09:55 AM

Bret I still wish I would have got that car. You're right there was lots of potential there and could be fairly fast. If I had the money that'd be one I'd consider building still.

Bill we last ran ours in 2009 or 2010. So I'd guess that was probably the last time.

Yeah Rick, I wish you guys would have bought it, at least it would have stayed a stocker. I sold it to a guy in Ohio and he put an automatic in it and started bracket racing it.

It was right before the change. I didn't have it geared right the tune was way conservative and the motor was a complete stock Ford unit with a set of experimental cams from Comp, this was before all the modular motor stuff had really come out yet for the NHRA cars. I should have built another one.

To help you with your build I would take your Wann powered cuda off your hands for 10 grand, rest assured, it would be well traveled and lusted after from Maramichi, to Napierville, to Toronto, maybe even ponoma, certainly epping and lebanon valley.

In all seriousness, Tom your car is as good as it gets, a Superbird although cool, will it even fit in a trailer?
