The obvious advantage to the SB Ford is that the Distributor is in
front- you won't have any clearance problems with the firewall. It also
doesn't hurt that the Mustang has outsold the Camarao 4:1 for the past
decade. The pool of used engines and speed parts is definately tilted
toward the Blue Oval corner. The later roller cam 302 with a set of
aluminum heads makes a lot of power for it's weight. The Ford world
class 5-speed is also another good reason. Of course 3 Tigers and 2
Mustang GT's in the past 19 years might mean I'm biased! Despite insane
levels of abuse, I never broke anything on those engines or drivelines!
Rev' em to the redline, dump the clutch and burn baby, burn!
