I need pics of one installed or being installed to see what it looks like and what i may need to remover or reroute to fit this.

Thanks.

UDELOSE2 · 04-17-2005, 10:00 PM

86 mustang.

Bust i just want to see pics with it on the engine.Car make isnt a factor just engine make.Id prefer to get pics of it on a 302-351 but am not picky.

Mine is going on a 302 (7

and in a 86 2.3 mustang im swapping over.Thanks.

Somebody here has a pic of thiers in thier sig. I don't remember though.

Try doing a search for that one topic a while back, "Post your engine" or something like that.

If you are starting a new combo, you're better off with a stroker 351W.

A 408 will be much cheaper to build than a 302 with a blower. It will also make just as much or more power... without all the tuning hassles the blower will bring.

If you want to spend your time fighting the car, install the blower. If you want to spend your time driving the car, go with a stroked 351W.

Good Luck!

dont use the search box at the top. Use the blue search link in between FAQ and Pictures below the FM header.

AWESOME!

I love the way it looks and cant wait for mine!

What about the tuning issues like mentioned above?How bad is it to tune and what did you go through tuning it?What carb/set up are you running like fuel pump carb and all that stuff?

How hard to get tuned?

What were your tuning procedures and steps?The more detailed the better.
