1979-1986 Mustang
1979 marked the launch of the third-generation Mustang, based on a brand new platform. It also marked the departure of Lee Iacocca, the man responsible for the Mustang. Enthusiasm for the Mustang would slowly come back in the mid 80's, as the introducton of High Output 5.0L and Turbocharged SVO's slowly won back the power fanatics. |

I have had this car since new while being a junior in high school. Engine is a 342 stroker motor that naturally aspirated will lay down 11.90's in the 1/4. With a 175 shot of NOS, car will do 10.3 @ 130mph. Travis Franklin built engine and Dynamic Racing Transmissions puts it all to the ground via a C-4 SuperComp with a custom TCT torque convertor with 3800 stall. As of May 2004, trans was sent to Dynamic for a refresh and upgrades including a trans brake. Engine got new TrickFlow forged crank, CompCams ProMagnum rockers, Canton oil pan and main girdle and Jet-Hot coated headers. |
