	I have a stock GTA- super clean and up to now all stock. I would like to start building up the horsepower a little, nothing crazy, but peppy. (suspension is already done) Right now its the 289 w/2bb....I would like to add headers, carb, cam and manifold. I would like to keep it looking stock. Can somebody help me with a plan, I am not to worried about the money. I just want to do it right and not de-value the car. Thanks Mike Poretti

If you have to do anything, pull the original engine and put it up on a stand and then build a second engine to drop in. That way you can always return it to total stock. -- "Maybe worshiping the cross and the painful death rather than the well lived life really has distorted our sense of who we are and what life is about." -- Author unkown

	Equal length long tube headers will give you the most hp benefit. They are a tight fit tho. You might consider making mods like were done "back in the day" Shelby style Tri Y headers would be one way to go down that path. I would also change intake manifold and carburetor. An Edelbrock Performer RPM or a vintage Edelbrock F4B would be a good choice. You could get an Autolite 4100 carb from Pony Carburetors. It is the stock Mustang Carb and is a good unit. If you want serious hp you could have your head ported. There is a company in LA that CNC machines heads for a very reasonable price. There was an article on them in Hot Rod magazine within the past year.

I just hate to see classic unmolested cars that have managed to survive this long get molested at this late date. The poster did mention resale value. Unmolested will always bring a premium regardless of if you keep the parts to put it back together. It breaks my heart every time I see any old classic that has been stripped, jacked, or otherwise modified for somebodies idea of "better". Much better to put the money into restoration then modification. -- "Maybe worshiping the cross and the painful death rather than the well lived life really has distorted our sense of who we are and what life is about." -- Author unkown

	Our responses probably drifted through the ethereal ectoplasm of the space time continuum and arrived at the same conclusion(s). I am making mods to mine. BUT, mine are got comfort (like seats with better lumbar support and a decent stereo) and safety (intermittent wipers and 3 point seatbelts). Yet nothing has been altered in such a way that it can not be returned to total stock. The exterior lines are maintained so that to the casual observer, nothing looks different. No high rise hood, no wings, air foils, blowers, Shelby quarter windows, etc. And at $3 per gallon if predictions are correct.... I'd rather have it that way. Looking good, but still something I can afford to drive.

Not all of us view our Mustangs as commodity investments, and you're being too strict with your recommendations. The idea he wants to increase its performance indicates plans to drive it, not sell it. As long as he keeps the old parts, and doesn't cut the car up, he can add 100hp to it if he wants without de-valuing the car a single bit. This is more true of vintage Mustangs than most any other vintage car, in fact. -- Wound Up ThunderSnake #65
