Posted By: mrcrazyhimself On: 01-03-2008 @ 11:04:52 Reply | Edit Rly rly Lame question I know...Cause I know their were alot of different engines and models but i'm looking for into the 77 thru 81. I believe was a 301/400...I see the horse/torque numbers for those cars and they look pitiful but do they run better with all that torque or are they all mostly for show cars? -- ...no bird or camaro but...i have to make due for a year with 1990 Foxbody Mustang with the weak 2.3 and the weaker Automatic... great shape but jeez....  i only paid 1100...praying for a 3.8 in
a year.... Posted By: IwannaFirebird On: 07-11-2006 @ 10:09:52 Reply | Top | Edit tough question. It depends a lot on the rear end ratio, and of course the condition of the motor, but i was getting around 14 mpg with 3.08s and a stock 350, so I would bet around that to a little less than that. They were fast relative to everything else at the time...but yeah...they're like 15 second cars stock. -- 1978 firebird formula 350-numbers matching, original paint scheme, BG speed demon 650, edelbrock rpm intake, flowtech LTs, custom true duals, accel armor shield wires, !EGR, 160 degree thermo, tremec/keisler custom built TKO500 5-speed, centerforce dual-friction clutch, ART ridepro-e2 suspension control, shockwave double adjustables, airbar triangulated 4 link, strongarm tubular UCAs and LCAs, Hotchkis/musclebar swaybar, Global West SFCs and body mounts, Moog steering parts, Flaming river power steering, procar rally seats, WFOTech clutch linkage and front structure supports, more on the way. call me wes.
