Hello again, thanks in advance (thanks for answering my questions) What valve springs do you use and what is the pressure used and what rocker are you using? Trick Flow etc? Thanks for your help.

What is the measurement of the push rod in intake and exhaust? Thankyou!!

I had a 68 Torino GT with 390 /4 speed miss it a lot

Good work, Mikey. You persevered.

Which first gear ratio did you use in the T5?

How do you find your G-Force street T5? Does it hold up ok?

What a car! Do you know what compression you're running?

Hi! Nice car and pulls ver y Hard! W/ that combo I a planning to change my flat tappet cam. Di you use a non roller Block adapter or did a Hole on Block to use a stock roller Fit o the 68 Block. My Fairlane have a 1981 302 Block it came from a bronco. Greetings man, and sorry but muy rusty english. 😬

Do you remember what spring pressures you ran closed and open?

Man your engine sounds very, very healthy!! I have good heads, long tube headers, a vic Jr and a couple carbs to play with. I'll be hitting it with a decent hit of spray on a progresser...like start w 100 and work to 200.

Can I ask what cam you have in her now? It sounds exactly what I'd like in my comet. I am still hesitant abt the summit f303 plus..your rpm range sounds right where I want it. I'd like to come off the transbrake at about 3100 or so and shift around 6200-6300

Don't get use to redlighting...

I had a 70 cyclone with the 429 cj

Love those early TORINOS!!!

Is your clutch a powergrip or powergrip hd? And are you still running the shims?

What suspension are you running

Man that thing is beauitful and Fast! the 11R heads are killer, and if that thing weighs 3160 with you in it(you don't look like a small human 🙂) it is a giant tin box! do you run a thin cometic head gasket? wondering if a touch more compression might pick up anything. ever do full throttle shifts? will the T-5 handle it? would a better oil pan/windage tray/crank scraper help any? curious about another 5-10 hp here and there. bowl work? touch up the valve job? not sure if any of that would help. she runs killer man, and looks great doing it. keep it up!

I just stumbled across this channel for the first time tonight. I played around bracket racing at NED back in '73 with my '69 428 SCJ Mach1. I'm a diehard Ford guy and have been my entire 75 years ! Back in '68 I ordered up a '69 Torino GT fastback 390 4spd. car, loaded with all the bells and whistles at Lexington Ford. Street raced the shit outta that thing. Broke it in hard and it ran really good. Looks like a Ma. plate on your car ? I was born in Lexington. You may not want to divulge your location, and that's understandable. Anyway I'm subscribed now so I'll see any new stuff. We gotta keep the Fords all FORD !! Hate this LS shit in Foxbodies 😠!!

What is the motor specs and what gears are you running

love your bumper sticker !

This was an awesome video. I am so happy for you. I wish I could duplicate your performance. Did I hear something about a GT500 that runs faster? Is there videos that I’m missing of that?

You got that rino rolling bud !

Cubic inches really dictate cfm. The Vic jr isn’t going to sacrifice as port velocity in comparison to the super vic. A 302 is only going to need some much cfm. Your hp lose is indicative of port velocity loss.

That's a fair bit lighter than I would have guessed. I still love the way that thing sounds. Sounds like it is turning a lot more than 6700.

Nice

What tire and rim width do you run on the front?? I have a 1968 GT Fastback street/strip car. I have Weld Draglites that are only 3.5" wide and might want to change to 5" wide... And mine is still 4 wheel drums=Sketchy

That's flying. Folks don't need a stroker or a built bottom to have fun. Just get the weight down and driving technique up😊

Wow still running consistent runs. Even when you say you are spinning you 60ft don’t show it. Congrats on your PB but looks like you need to work on RT’s. Red dragons every round. 😂

That car looks just like my brothers best friends car back when we were in high school in the early 80's. Same year and same color. Can't remember if it was a 427 or a 428. His dad was one of the top mechanics for a local Ford dealership and they spent several years building it. Nice car.

me and you gotta run it next year once my car is up and running again be a fun race .

Could watch you make passes all day :--) Super nice car (and driver)

Damn that's a light car😆

Quite the ripper 🏁

I'm telling on myself but in 1973 we acquired a 289 cobra motor from a person I won't name who swapped his 302 into a hertz Shelby mustang and took the cobra and stored it for years and my brother was a good friend of him so we bought it after confirming it was real we installed it in my brother's 66 mustang fastback four speed original car we ran it at the old morose Trac in n westpalm Beach fla ran 11.70s providing we could keep a tail shaft in the tranny 7 inch slicks and a 780 cfm holley and a pertronix ignition and minor tuning. Luv the torino I had a 68 428 4 speed Blu with white stripes polyglass tires best time in those days 12.40s take care of that car my friend you have a piece of history that unfortunately for us has faded into oblivion. Peace ✌️

Outstanding! It's lighter than I expected. Have you tried going down to 13-12 lbs in the tires? Maybe that will help the 60ft, of course that slows reaction time a tiny bit because the tires have to wind up a little more. I'm impressed with your consistency with the stick with lifting on the gas on the shift. I agree, with the decision to put it up for the season while it's running great. Wipe it down, put a wrench on everything, drain the water, get the slicks off the ground. Now, get those edges sharp and lube and test release the bindings, maybe loosen the settings just a tiny bit till you get warmed up. Carve some turns and bash some moguls for me. None of that down here in Alabama. I have an input seal leaking on my C6 in my 64 Galaxie, so I guess I'll pull the trans soon.

Congrats on the pb's. 302's are underestimated a lot

Never underestimate a little 30twice

Sounds bad ass man! I miss my 68 Fairlane!

Hell yea!!! Congrats on the PB and strong finish to the season!!!🇺🇸💪🏼

Wow, awesome results! That's a great way to end the year!

Wow, very impressive! I was blown away on the weight, and with you in it, not bad at all!

Impressive

Awesome job man !!!

Congratulations on your PB'S

Really well sorted It's a credit to you 🏆

your car rips, with a 302, really something. just subscribed. not familiar with your car setup, but seems there's more in it if you can get it to launch a little better. losing too much rpm and flywheel energy when clutch is engaged, but that's often part of running a small displacement engine. you are having fun with a great car, engine and performance. Great Job!

Add more compression to it e85 or something

That engine sounds great

Awesome 😎
