Ludis,
Is the 2.8 pumped up any?
My brother had a 74 ford Mustang II with the 2.8 and a 4 speed... Pretty
doggy stock.
He put on an offenhouser manifold with the 4 bbl top, an Isky torquer cam,
10:1 pistons, ported and polished heads with larger valves, headers, and a
holly 390 race only mechanical secondary carb.  The thing would wind to
8000RPM with no problem and would beat most any stock to mildly modified V8.

   Sponges grow in the ocean... Wonder how deep it would be if they didn't?!
