Ther's always money to spend.

If it weighs around 1550kgs it is probable, high 13's with "traction" and the right gearing, like a lot of cars out there, it is possible but hard to get without the setup for dragging.

Quote: Matti Batti, your a queer C***. No one but yourself gives a f**k about your false claims of your vechiles performance. " umm, frank brought them up, i just told him what i know, i dont know the duration of the cam i just put in, off the top of my head, does that mean i dont have a cam? Quote: Oh I need to rebuild the bottom end again, its getting a bit tired. Thats a quality 365 you had built then isnt it... Lasted a hell of a long time, I think not. i didnt have it built, and he told me when i bought it, that it only had about 100K Km's left in the bottom end, i spent a bunch on teh heads a few months ago, and they beautyfull now, thx to Luke at Port Kennedy Performance.

When my brother got the pistons for his 393 and showed me, i laughed at them, they are shorter than most pistons found in 4cyl buzz boxes. The SCAT cranks and rods look good though Back to top Disco Frank Fordmods Junkie Age:29 Posts: 13578 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Perth WA, Australia View User Gallery (7) Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:40 am    Post subject: 66 coupe wrote: Well my theory is quite simple, if its a 351 crank, then its a 351, who gives a s**t if its 20, 40 or 60 thou bored.... its still a 351, not a 366 or anything else, unless its offset ground (yes boring increases displacement but who really gives a s**t, hell you could even grind 3cc out of the heads, then you've got a 375, but it doesnt mean it will go any harder than a std 351) thankyou jamie!
