Re: the next Supercar??
The stock Swirl Port heads were quite restrictive. Back in 86, I ran the car basically stock with a 3.27 gear and clicked off 15.0's @ 90 mph. A year later, installed the hot "Truck heads" with some mild porting and it was like a night and day difference. With those heads and 3.73 gear, the car was running low 14's at 100 mph, everything else stock. I still have the stock short block with flat top pistons since I used another block to build the 347 stroker.
Out of all the musclecars and other assorted vehicles I have had over the years, that 86 LX Mustang 5.0 was the best bang for the buck, most enjoyable to drive, easy to work on, best car I ever owned. The parts available for these cars in the used and aftermarket segments is staggering. I would love to own another one, preferably a low mile 87-91 LX Coupe, unmolested, and in stock form (Good Luck).
