225 /6 at 250HP?
After 16 years she finally moved on her own.
My father gave me his '72 Dodge Dart Swinger Special when I was 2. Up until 1999 (when it was last running) he drove the car somewhat regularly until the front ball joints got bad and he didn't want to drive it around with me and my sisters in it. Fast forward to 2016 I got the car running and drove it 70 miles at about 70mph most of the time, with relatively no problems.
There's a whole story on that, but to stay on point. She drove great and has enough power to do what is needed... but as most I want more. What I really miss is my 1990 Mustang Vert. 5.0L (0-60 in under 7 and 14 some quarter mile) So basically that is my goal.
What would it take to make a reliable DD with about those kinds of numbers, while still being comfortable running 80 mph for hours at a time? (Basically I dont want to run 4.88 gears) I do want to turbo and go EFI for... well all the benefits of EFI. Budget, well I am cheap when I can be, as well as I can fabricate most of my own stuff and all the wiring and tuning the system would be something I really want to learn. But I understand certain thing cant be done cheap.
Just as a note I am currently attending Wyotech so I have decided to dedicate my life to mechanics in general. (Diesel, Gas, Turbo, N/A, Off-Road, Carb, EFI) I have already worked with most systems and am eager to learn the proper way on more. So learning a new system is actually a plus for me.
