Lol, my days don't go back that far, but I'd shove a 393 street stroker motor in there.... and change out all that chevy bs...

Love the drop, love the body, love the colour, hate all the chevy crap under the hood... overall I hate it... lol.

John has a 393 stroker and it hauls and that`s good enough for me plus it`s a light and compact package.

Small blocks rev alot faster, get into the power band sooner. Now don`t get me wrong, I love my big blocks but I`d never again knock a SMF after having a ride in John`s Mustang.
My dream would be a 351 stroked to 427, I think that`s the best of both worlds!
