All this needs now is a mustang body and a crowd of people.
Late model. Fox body and classic Mustang guys don't do that.

Thanks for the compliments!....yes, having a blast....after its all said and done, i will rebuild the car with new Factory Works chassis parts, new 67' Camaro body, and enter it next year in botm....but i want to get the best engine combination first....
Got the car rebuild...it was pretty tweeked...before going back to single barrels, I want to play around with 3 engines in two stages...so it doesn't have too much power at takeoff but will pull hard late...
