New 5 speed manual transmission all stock
were your valves floating at 120? If not you still had some horses to unleash. My 1964 Buick wildacat with a 421 motor topped at 120 but it was a heavy car, your goat wasnt that heavy though. The 82 mustang was a small car with plastic parts and I had the larger of the 2 4cylinders. Had to replace the transmission twice in 1 year kept losing 2nd gear. Ford claimed it was because of abuse :-)
thanx,
bill

New Dunno about the lifters.
The engine was a little tired, as was the transmission (THM 400). But it did OK. It did the quarter mile in < 16 s, ~ 95? mph. It would have been much quicker with decent tires (it would lose traction very easily in 1st and 2nd) - maybe in the 14s range. I'm sure it could have done better with a little work. 6 people in the car cut the top-end some too...

A friend had a 68 GTO that he massaged a little. That car was scary-fast. He ended up bending some pushrods racing some monster dual-quad tunnel ram thing (and getting stomped in the process). He fixed it and sold it shortly thereafter. Big mistake. :-(

Manual transmissions help a lot. Especially overdrive. ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.
