Thanks guys. If you cant guess, I had contacted Bill to help me round up some ideas for this one. Here's the lay out of what I have in mind:
So far the 200 in my 68 mustang has a curved DSII going through an MSD box and coil. besides a 6-2 header, thats pretty much it. My goal is best power while retaining easy drive-ability and reliability - its still just a six cylinder mustang, but I dont want it to be boring anymore. So Im trying to figure out a formula that I should shoot for with the machine work. I dont mind running good octane gas but dont want to push it too much so Im guessing mill for a max of 10:1 compression. I'll want a cam that can put it all to use and either a 350 or 500 cfm carb (will need to re-research what has been working for everyone). I'm kind of thinking just run the stock valve train unless you all think it would make a pretty dramatic difference or if a new cam would necessitate it for some reason - again, mild-not-wild build.
So there's my intention. Ideally I'd want to free up the power and fun by ditching the C4 and putting a 5s peed in but that would be a couple phases away for this car right now. Any specific valve sizes you guys would recommend? Anything else I'm missing? Will probably start tearing down the 250 in a day or two and am in no huge rush but do want to get the parts ordered up to get everything to the machine shop sooner rather than later. No plans for the 250 short block at this time other than to clean it, oil it, and sit on it for a while. I cant imaging putting that in the car instead of an aluminum headed 289 that would be close to equaling the weight but way more power opportunity since with either one I'd be having to change up my suspension. This car isnt about power for me though. I have a prostreet /protouring mopar for fast, this is about easy reliable fun.
Oh and again, thanks Bill, youre the man!
