- My 13 year old wants to build a 1971-73 Mach 1 Mustang for his first car. We have found a Grabber Blue with white interior base model 1971 Mach 1 to start on.
I am considering stroking the Cleveland to 408 CI with a Scat rotating assembly. I would like the engine to make more torque down low in the powerband. The compression will be around 9:1-9.3:1 depending on deck height and completed combustion chamber size. I think the cam kit is a Comp Cam Magnum hydraulic roller with 224 duration and 566 lift. This build will be a daily driver on regular unleaded fuel, probably 87-89 octane. The motor is out of a numbers matching 1973 Q code Mach 1 with factory 3.25 gearing and C6 transmission. Do you think this combination will support 350-375hp and 400-425tq?
