P.S. As much as I hate to admit it I have experienced the world of hard knocks more than one time.

I also have a whole 351C setup [minus block] sitting in a garage in Upstate NY behind my "stored" 70 Torino GT [that's where the block is]. That car hasn't been registered since 1989 and only 500 miles on the engine... But I digress: I was young and stupid [the young part doesn't apply anymore] and broke the first block by putting the timing chain gear on backward and it sheared off the cam thrust plate bolts and edge of the block... <sigh>

I have a set of melted pistons as well, from a turbo engine... <chuckle>

Hey MIke,
Somethimes experience can be quite humbling can't it?? About the time I start to get cocky about what I have done to one of my cars I do something stupid. Than after I reflect on what I have done it makes sense and I feel experienced. Know what I mean??

In talking with Scott Hoag this summer about development of this engine I learned that there were tests that included idle to 6500RPM plus "run-ups" at Ford that lasted 24/7 for up to weeks looking for the breaking point of the engine due to RPM's.

I just want to let all of you know, for a "beginner' at the whole Mustang thing this thread has a whole lot of valuable information in it. Thank you.

I am currently putting down 447 sae.
But running a little lean as i approach 6000rpm.
fuel pressure is constant at 50...Until 6000rpm then it drops to 41....
My A/f is good at 11.8 until 6000 rpm then it jumps up to 13.2 is the high, but this was done with very hot cats and a sniffer in the tailpipe...so it might not be totally accurate...
