Of course I was wrong!

I wrote CC would probably do a "smokin'" 305 SBC with a brace of T-3s.

I was kind of hoping for something about 150 cubes larger than a SBF 5.0, but we'll take what we can get.

 I do hope it runs harder than NAPA John's old '34!

Baskerville "Rod Tested" it in the March 1977 issue of Hot Rod, beginning on page 56.  Anderson's 2900# three-window carded an 11.07 at 124 on the Sacramento strip.  He used a 3.23 gear, C4 and a carbureted, suck-through turbo (with water injection) on a bone-stock smogger 302 Ford. 

Twenty-seven years later, FF&MM's Poor White Trash 5.0 Mustang has run in the 10s on stock E7 heads, stock cam, stock HO intake, stock throttle body, o-ringed stock shortblock (pulled from a JY Mark VII LSC) and an HP Turbo kit, so I expect big things from CC's budget 5.0 project.

I'd like to see CC spring for some budget iron Roush 200s or maybe even iron FRPP "N" heads rather than trying to puff through restrictive stock castings (including GT40Ps).  Or maybe a Clevor package? Aftermarket aluminum would be even better, but the price would send many readers over-the-brink

If its not TURBOCHARGED, you're not finished yet . . . .
