The cars not street legal..... I'm not sure I'd want to drive it (the car) that far any way..... 4 link, manual steering and brakes, no heater, no exhaust and a jungle gym can get miserable.  

 But I would entertain some one wanting to put a car together with it and me riding along.  

G-DOG!!

Go over to Bangshift and give that offer someone might take u up on it.... most of the car's in the class racing are not daily driver to say the lease

Drop the Stang off here in VA, I'll put it to use and send you pics  

Great job on the build. George was asking how y'all made out, had a smile when I showed him this thread.

If my car is done by then (65 Falcon), I'd be all over that. Even has overdrive.

Congrats to all involved! That's a bad reliable beast

That's about .800" lift on each lobe if I'm not mistaken. What kind of lobe modifications would you make on this deal to make it more street able? Just less lift or....?

For something you are looking to run for alots and lots of miles, I'd use some less intense lobes and stick under .650 on the lift.

I'd also lighten up the springs and only run it to 6500.

This engine as it sits should do fine for something like drag week, 1500+ miles and a few dozen or so passes. But not knowing how long this stuff would last @ .800+lift, I'd want to tear it down after to check everything as a precaution.

Roger that. Would probably tame the cam down a bit indeed. May even run a coated  tit intake valve.

Looking forward to more updates as you get this ironed out.

And this is a bump for Bill Fowler.  

Dave,

I didn't know you've become famous! I still remember your yellow fox mustang from lancaster speedway. Shoot me an e mail, let me know where you're living now. I should have my 532 engine back this year. It's gone 9.97 @138 in my buddies 3400lb mustang on pump gas, c4 trans/2800 converter, 3.55 gears, 275/60-15 radials and mufflers. Congrads on the win. Talk to you soon.

Jim
