I am in the process of putting together a 69 Mustang, pro touring type build and looking for thoughts on how to modify the engine. It’s a 428CJ with TKO 600, full TCI suspension, 3.89 gears, etc. The CJ was built by Knieriem racing engines in Louisville but it’s close to stock, I have the build sheets. The internals are all stock, the only mods are Comp 280H cam, upgraded rocker system and Performer RPM intake. I have a set of Hooker Super Comp headers that I will run and plan to use an EFI instead of a carb and a good ignition system. Plans are at a minimum to pull the heads, port match intake & exhaust, clean up the runners, etc. Thinking that should put me between 400 & 450 HP? I am thinking that the cam is a little too mild for my setup. I was hoping for 500 but don’t think I can get there without going to a Stroker kit or nitrous. The car will be driven, not a garage queen. All thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.
