Planning to run Hilborn injection on gas. Dry sump.


I'm thinking that you should get some B1 heads and turn the RPMs up. I don't think you will need the torque as you probably will be spinning in the salt from what I was told from a friend that ran a NASCAR Ford 358 in a B/SR tying to top 200 MPH. Maybe use a 5-speed transmission or maybe a 6-speed with OD to get top end? Sounds like a fun project.
