once i gut the thing and get rid of that useless stereo system, amp, 2 12s, box, and interier ill be able to go faster. it needs a cage though, once thats done i can get rid of that 300 lb support behind the dash.

But I call BS on the times bro, especially if we are to believe it ran 6.8 on those tires. I will also be willing to bet its heavy (for a stang), and the numbers don't work out. Maybe on slicks. I haven't seen any SN95's that heavy with that motor run high 9's either, maybe on a big shot but I doubt it.

Many of you already know the history of the Mexican 302 Block, for those that don't here you go... In 1968 Ford opened a foundry in Mexico due to the popularity of the Mustang. This foundry was tasked to model the 302 blocks out of Cleveland. The blocks that were cast in Mexico actually were a 'fluke' in the manufacturing. Word got around about the 'fluked' blocks and many people that were purchasing, Mustangs, Cougars, trucks, etc would say, 'Just make sure it doesn't have one of those Mexican blocks in it."
That 'fluke' proved to be one of the best Ford blocks designed. Not only was the design superior to the other foundries 302's but the Mexican forging had a higher nickel content. Nickel when hot flexes more than iron and therefore can stand higher temps and stronger torque. The design of this block was utilized in many of the 1968 Shelby GT350s with a C8AM block. To couple this block, they also utilized main bearing caps that are almost an exact match to the ever famous 289 HiPo main caps.
*** For more documented information on the strength of this Mexican 302 block see the February 2000 issue of Mustangs and Fords pp 30-38. This is article quotes on page 31, picture 5. ''The Mexican block is a thicker, cast-iron casting that's rich in nickel. It also sports heavy-duty main bearing caps, similar to the vintage 289 High Performance. Although we're building a mild street mill, this block can easily withstand a six- to seven-grand spin.'' ***
