When i was 20, i put a 300 hp. 351 windsor and automatic trans along with a 3.56 geared limited slip 9 in. Ford rearend into a 1974 Mustang II.
300 hp in a 2800 lb. body sure is fun when you are a kid. Of course that was almost 30 yrs. ago. It sure was a big job to put the 351 in where a 4 cyl.came out. That little car was ugly as sin but that thing would SCREAM !!!!!!!
Probably didn"t have $250.00 in that swap combo.
I still think about that car alot, when i want to go fast. But the go fast days are getting few and far between.
I guess it was my own combo that made it so special to me,and i done it all by myself.
It doesn"t sound like much now but back then there was nothing around that could run with it.
I hardly drove that that thing without my knees shaking when i got out of it. MAN THAT THING WOULD SCREAM.
Tell me about yours.
SEE Y'ALL

The fastest car I had was a factory stock 1968 Plymouth Fury III,I bought it while I was still in high school,it had a 440ci engine and a factory Hurst 4spd,that thing would peg the speedometer at the drop of a hat.Sold it when gas got crazy back in the 70's.I also had a '68 Chevelle with a 396 in it,I got that from my cousin in the late 70's,I was the second owner,I could kick myself for ever getting rid of that one.I also had a '70 GTO with a 400 in it and a '63 Impala that a friend of mine put a 389 Pontiac engine in it.I bought a Z28 Camaro when they came out with the,then new body style in '82 also.I'm sure that I'm probably missing a couple.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
