Pick an engine, 66 Fairlane edition

It’s a non roller 302. Even worse than a 5.0

Add boost until it is less boring

Add e85 and boost. It's really, really, really fun.

I'm at 20psi non intercooled and haven't hurt it yet despite being an idiot

100% stock except for valve springs.

Oops, I was looking at the wrong indicator, thought it was a 351 for a second

That’s exactly the plan.

Free isn't necessarily a good thing.

Hows it look inside? Any idea what it came out of?

Freshly rebuilt out of an old man mustang. Has gt40p heads, whatever that’s worth. A buddy of mine runs a performance shop that specializes in fox body mustangs. The old dude wanted a 347 crate stroker. According to him it ran fine

Find out what it's got for valve springs. Gt40s are well known for having noodles for springs. Or just plan on putting matching springs in with whatever cam you go with.

Awesome
Shoukd run real good with turbo

And not too boring, at least its not an ls or small block chevy?

Nothing to add, just motivation. Dad parked his 66 in my barn while they move and get their new place setup over the winter.

Mostly original car that had a refresh in the late 90's. 390 got a mild cam upgrade and is a great cruiser.

probably has a better cam and springs than the explorer motor I got in the LTD

16cm/60mm hx40 has basically instant response

Stroked 460. Anything less is a waste of a huge engine bay.

Yeah, but the torque would twist that rusty chassis like a paperclip. So yeah, do that and film it.
