sounds like a good decision junior and a 383 will definitely haul you down the track. my buddy delbert will be trying the same thing this season except with a TA with a 383. i gotta tell ya, a stock 5.0 will run anywhere from 13.50 to 13.90, usually with anywhere between 160 and 210.000 kms.on the motor and i've seen alot of mustangs with chevy motors that don't even come close so your probably going the right route.

Well Tony I have seen a lot of them run from bone stock to all the bolt ons you can think of and I only ever seen one dip in the 13.50 range and that had a 100shot of NOS ;D ;D, most run just in the high 13.90's with slicks and also the 13.50 stang had a T5 gearbox,3.73's and slicks.
I have seen a few stangs with sbc's in them and one ran mid to low 11's and the other went mid 12's.
People like to use the mustang because it is a great platform to start out with.... a natural street and strip car.
Not trying to start any arguments, just commenting on what I have seen over the past few years at the track.

yes me to and i've got a notchback here that did run 13.51@ 101.8mph and my buddys hatchback with 210.000kms went 13.54@100mph mind you these cars did both have t5s and streetslicks. but both were stock motors 14degrees timing headlite removed with a ram air tube mounted to the tb via the elbow, no nitrous no power adders whatsoever. and i suspect you'll see a few more posts from other guys i know that have also ran 50s and 60s. with a stock mustang.

Yes that is true, not much spent on it ..... ported heads ( with Chevy valves I do believe ) , hot cam, bigger tb , mass, and so on and so on. If memory serves me right you put that together didn't you Mr. Hanley ( Doc ) . Ran 13.1?
And .... just to clarify Iam not knocking Spencer's ride, just commenting on f1fiddy's post

If memory serves me right you put that together didn't you Mr. Hanley ( Doc ) . Ran 13.1? ok, the cam is the SMALLEST cam that ford racing produces for the 5.0 here are the specs taken directly from their site "Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.480 int./0.480 exh. lift " we paid $20 for it used. the heads were FREE with used 1.94 valves the upper and lower intake are STOCK(unported) ford pieces from a Ford Explorer 65mm TB which is one tiny step bigger than OEM and a set of shorty headers(this was the most expensive piece baught new from ROADRAGE) this total set up cost about $500 what did it take that chevy of yours to go 13.1? and I can't forget to mention that a good mechanic can make a world of difference.

Well everything is getting blown out of proportion,like I said not knocking Spencer's ride just commenting on the post, and believe it or not I did not mean anything by saying that you put it together teamextreme.
And as far as that comment that you made about me teamextreme.... if that would have come from anyone else it would have botherd me but sense it came from you all I have to do is consider the source and that explains all.
And as for my chevy... bored .030 to clean up the bore, cam has the same lift, stock 882 heads with purple Z28 springs 1.94/1.60 valves ,weiand aluminum dome that I paid $25.00 for and a 750 demond that I bought used that needed a kit.
This thread is about mustang's and such,not about who's tail was between who's legs . This is not the place to get in to a pi$$ing contest, but feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this topic any further teamextreme.
This will be my last reply on this topic.

This was what I was commenting on, you make it sound as if a mustang whether it be bone stock or slightly modified won't go any faster than 13.5??? I am stating that it is very possible for this to happen without having to throw some half ass SBC engine in a fox mustang. Spencer's car would(should) be going high 12's under the right traction conditions, which just goes to show you can take a stock FORD bottom end with 220 000 Kms spend a couple dollars and go have some fun. There are lots of other ford guys around with similar set ups but you don't see a lot of those cars coming out to race anymore.

here ! here! now this guy knows his stuff as well. and here i thought we were the only ones that had miraculious mustangs to run 13.50s with STOCK motors. and just as an extra nudge the notchback had 2.73s and it ran 13.79 on street tires. 170.000kms on motor, stock cam speed density. stock headers stock pullys stock tb , intake , lower control arm , upper control arms etc, etc, etc. these were not mild worked 302s! so again i will say you put a STOCK350 in a mustang and you get a 15.00 sec mustang, its like comparing apples to oranges.(maybe high 14.00s), hatch or notch. just my 2 cents. not to offend just stateing the facts.
