Ever see the Australian 351C 2 barrel high compression heads? Ford North America was asleep at the wheel back then. I'd like to see a 351W run in Stock with that little tiny carb on it.

With the appropriate HP factoring, an engine with a little carb can be a contender.

Yes sir, that is the key to all Stock Eliminator Racing: Accurate factoring and no cheating!

But I still would like to see how quick a 351W with the (what is it a 490 cfm carb?) could run.

I owned a 1970 Mach1 Mustang with a 351C and it was rated 300 HP from the factory.

What about a 69-70 Shelby GT350? They have a good aluminum intake but i'm not sure what carb.

I'll bet with the right amount of money it can be a Holley 850.

Tom,

Please define "the right amount" part. Many of us are on tight budgets but if we combine our allowances...
