after racing the ex514 motor in the dragster again this year, we are going to put it in a 2006 mustang and race it in a all motor class in michigan, The car is a ford racing body in white, we built it with ladder bars a ford 9 in and 10 1/2 tire . We will use a th 400 trans all glass no wheelie bars no power adders. The car must weight in at 3350lbs .
Good luck to all bbf racers happy new year John

i'm glad to hear that you're gonna run all motor at milan, i hope you can get that car to fly because at this moment small blocks been owning all motor probably with the exception of the 79 white coupe (the shark) and he's been off pace last season.
2 small blocks been in the .40's and it's rumored that they will go even faster this year.
you will have a very cutting edge car with the chassis and aerodynamics to boot. and if you can get better than 1000 horse power, then you'll be very competitive!
i'm in the process of building a ladder bar suspension 97 mustang with a 552 and the ex-514 heads and intake. we'll see how it runs when finished.

butch kemp is one of the small blocks that went 8.40 this year, and he claims his car makes 990 horsepower! ooch! to top it off, he can weigh 400 lbs less at a measly 2950 lbs. i believe howie's car, the red 69 camaro with the big block has 1175 horsepower in his aluminum block 632 and still have a hard time running the number. maybe there should be some type of rule refinement because the big blocks are very head via induction limited, where as the small blocks can run those cfm/bmf heads that have been known to flow in the excess of 430 cfm. heck look at ben mens the other small block car in .40's, he's using canted valve yates heads. they are know to flow over 400cfm as well.
