Not so! We crushed Jay's bus at the May 2010 Sears Pointless.

What springs are you running front and rear? There was a chassis flex issue with that model found racing them years ago in the front end. Still have a kit offered to remedy it.
Friends and I ran a 6cyl Gremlin for a few years in circle track won overall 2 years before they figured how to factor us out.
Learned long ago if you got something that can walk all over the competition your best off winning by a few feet than a mile.

Do you have any idea what the rate for the Tbird springs were before cutting?

The 250 is a stroked 200 (more tq, don't know if U need that in this style race) cubes = more hp too. It weigh 460 lbs. To lower it U can 'slot' the towers (not the mounts - some use the Maverick I6's mounts as well).
The C4 fits (they have SBF bell) & is great due to being the auto to rob the least power.

How are your rear control arms set up?
What shocks?

My Fox Mustang had 2 step rear coil overs. 400 lbs compression 146 upward. They are not made anymore. Had like the 680s in the front cornered great. Maybe the 225s (was it) would work better for you. Seems I remember a lot of serious fox racers use closer to that.
The fronts would have been converted to coil overs with stiffer springs but traded the car for half the down payment on a 48,000 boat. It was a 84 Mustang is it all that different from a Fairmont.
