remembered another one.......

Not my car but a friend's. He had a street/strip early model 351-C/4speed powered Mustang I narrowed & back-braced a 9" housing for back in the early 90's. This was probably one of the fastest (if not the fastest) actual "true street driven" Cleveland in the DFW area at the time. It had a simple 6 point roll bar, subframe connectors, full stock interior, stock rear frame rails, ladder bars, leafsprings for years then later replaced with coil overs.

 

At it's fastest with stock block/heads it had Cleveland somewhere in the 377-390" range using a stock 2 bolt 1/2 grouted block bored .030", stock offset ground crank, stock bbc rods, flat top pistons, Crower roller cam (I never new the size). CC 351-C heads with aluminum intake port stuffers & raided steel exhaust port floor stuffers (home made) welded in place, a Strip Dommy with raised port floors, older NOS cheater plate system, a Liberty 4 speed clutch type trans, single disk clutch, unknown rear gears, slicks were somewhere in the 28/29x10.5 range. After fighting cam problems with this new combo for a few track outings, Crower finally sent him one that was a perfect match for the combo. If I remember correctly it's best 1/8 mile ET was in the 6.15/6.18 range with just 1 ancient 16 hole plate system at somewhere around maybe 2900/3100 lbs. That was damn quick for a stock block/head flat top street driven Cleveland back in the early 90's
