83Stang5.0

Well I got my new tranny in my mustang finally. Been driving it around my garage in circles. She's runnin good and I'll get some up to date pics for yall later.

But now I need to get some antique tags to get it on the street at all. Anyone know how much they cost? I dont think I could find a price anywhere online. Car is 25 this year so she's old enough.

For those that dont know, my car is a black 83 LX T-Top with a 91 351W swap. yes, "351W". Engine also has a cam and headwork I didn't know about to add to the list of mods already done.

How did you find out if it was a clevland or windsor?

Werent you unsure a while back of what was even in the car?

Not to bash, but do you know what cam is in it or what type of headwork was done? Stock heads?

I should be putting down 400+ hp and torque. Ive had alot of local ford guys say mid to high 400s. I need a new posi trac rear end because someone stole my rear gear right out of the car overnight. Need new tires all the way around too, all dry rotted from sitting for a year. Pretty solid after that.

Well I had multiple people tell me my engine was a cleveland after looking at it. My heads were ported to 351C spec, My water pump didnt have the 2" spacer or whatever that a windsor was supposed to have. my casting number reads 91, and clevelands werent made in 91. I already knew my valvetrain was fresh, I knew that after I took the valve covers off.

No clue on the cam specs, but the motor cams its ass off. and they are stock heads but ported and all new valvetrain.

are we talking bhp or whp..because mid to high 400 is a lot for what you are describing..whats your supporting mods? compression? etc?

So basically you still have no clue what motor is in your car.

Please bring it up to Jenro's so we can look at it and let you know.


What intake are you running? Windsor and Cleveland are too totally different setups. You probably have a Windsor, if anything, and somebody is blowing smoke up your ass if they told you your heads were "351C spec'd". Are they spec'd to the 2V or 4V Cleveland heads? What tranny are you running?

And you're running a 9" rear?


edit: You're not putting down 400rwhp, let alone mid to high 400's.

C4 tranny, by 351C spec, I mean they heads are ported bigger than whatever 351C ports are stock. Because when I replaced all the gaskets for the teardown, I had to get 351C gaskets and then trim them just a little bit. Edelbrock Performer intake

oh and its the stock rear end on a v6 LX(LSD), the gear out of my 85GT was stolen so Im stuck with this one.

I dont know a whole lot about jenro's but I'll be at slades all summer(this has been decided by a 3rd party :P)
