Just the rear...... ***NEW PICS***lil update....4/5/09 Reply #16 – March 13, 2009, 10:50:22 AM I was always under the impression GT40P heads wouldn't fit flat top pistons, That is why I was planning on getting new pistons for my 302 in my shop. I'm not really 100%. I always wanted to get an E303 cam from FRPP just because I like the sound of the idle (Stupid reason i know). Quote Selected

Just the rear...... ***NEW PICS***lil update....4/5/09 Reply #19 – March 13, 2009, 11:33:10 AM I just have this thing for BIG motors, and besides, i love torque..... i dont want to run the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds or anything, but if i can bury just about any import that shifts my way, ill be happy, i originally wanted to go all out, with new pistons, beams heads, and push like 500hp, but now im thinking, nice top end with a mildly aggressive cam, to put myself in the 350hp range, also i LOVE getting sideways, so all that torque will come in handy at low rpms... And dont tempt me to get a transbrake!!!!!!! this time next year hopefully ill be able to give 88tbird guy a run for his money...lol jk Quote Selected
Just the rear...... ***NEW PICS***lil update....4/5/09 Reply #20 – March 13, 2009, 11:37:44 AM Besides, an engine bay is for the engine........when i look under my hood, i wanna see motor, not ac compressors, and fuseboxes, and all that ugly bs...smooth ,clean, and strong...... not to mention that real muscle cars in the 60s and 70s, had bbs, so putting a bb in the cougar, makes sense to me!!!!! its like going from a 3.8 to a 5.0, only im going from 5.0 to 7.5!!!!!!! :burnout: Quote Selected

Just the rear...... ***NEW PICS***lil update....4/5/09 Reply #25 – March 13, 2009, 01:33:52 PM pretty sure a 460 will have a fair amount of torque so if you can get traction you'll be doing fine. Quote Selected

Just the rear...... ***NEW PICS***lil update....4/5/09 Reply #27 – March 13, 2009, 06:02:45 PM Oh yeah. I know but he'd do pretty good for a close to stock engine. A 460 should put out around 300 HP easy. Quote Selected
