318 and 360 mounts, and cfm/hp ratio?

One of my mentors is an ex Stock Eliminator racer (in the 90s). His record setting (E, F, G, and M stock records in NHRA and IHRA) Ford couldnt be more basic. 351 Cleveland, hydraulic cam. Stock carb, intake heads, rods, crank, block, and factory design and weight pistons. In a 71 steel Mustang, with 5.17 gears, 9" slicks, and a Jerico. The car was a rock steady 11'teens. leaving the line at 6800, shifting at 8000. That engine made 485 hp thru the Autolite 4bbl carb. No doubt with the right science, stock parts can work.
