The Road Warrior would be proud to drive that car. Plus, he knows where to get enough gas for it!

To get these engines to run requires serious cylinder heads...the Ford heads are pure junk...I know..I fought them for 45 years before a decent head was finally offered...and the rocker arm assemblies...well now...that is another subject...RR

@MrTokeit It's a 4spd. It just has limited traction on street tires.

@59Mack maybe some more stall?

Nice Car !

just how much horse power did you get from this setup?

Correction ~ Roadrunners & Camaros!

The 390 was not the answer to Ford's high performance effort and they knew it. I had a '68 390 fastback Mustang with a 4-speed (rated @ 325 HP) and regularly got beat by the Dusters & Camaros. When Ford showed up in '69 with the 429 motor powered their Boss Mustang it changed the entire landscape of the streets.

Ya, All the late model Fords have the extended skirts too just like the good ol FE's. Great ol motors.
Where did you get that setup for your supercharger? And how much did it cost?

It's all BDS drive hardware. The blower itself is a stock OEM part I got and changed over myself. I got most of the drive parts at a discount, can't recall what the real prices are now? I think they want $3500 for complete set up? Just blower, no carbs, linkage, etc.

It goes fast enough. I'm not stupid enough to go anywhere near 160mph in it.
