Is your XD getting the treatment soon Paul?

One of these days it will see a 351 C again Vic, can't afford to do anything at the moment.
I've had it for almost 17 years now so it's not going anywhere.

After looking at several youtube vids featuring windsor powered fox mustangs I don't know whether to agree with you. Man those things scream like raped banshee's.

If you build a windsor or cleveland of similar capacity and similarly cammed, you will NOT be able to tell the difference just by the sound.
BTW Where are the modular engines in this poll?

Really?

We run a 1050 Alky Dominator on the 460. That should be good for around 7200rpm out of it. We're only revving to 6200 now but will be revving to around 6800 next season.
