These fairmonts are just great i love mine and its just fun to drive thanks for the video, by the way where do you get custom made fiberglass cowl induction hoods for one of these machines?
Thats good for a small motor. Man, I remember when Fords were so restricted by the heads they never where much of a threat to us Chevy guys. That's all changed with the advent of Al. heads. I picked up a Z-7 Mercury- same car as your friend's. I am going to do something similar to it. We're running out of rear-drive cars at reasonable prices! I have that and I picked up a '91 S-10 so I have something to work with. Thanks for the info.
The best pull that day was 396HP and 345 lb-ft. It's a 347ci aluminum headed roller motor. As I recall, it went about 11.20 at 120mph with that particular combination.

@Ford302ism The hood on this car is the factory steel hood with a fiberglass scoop added. I think they came on certain Mustangs in the 80s.
