Hello All:
I am very close to purchasing a 73 Cougar. Hope to have it in the garage by Monday. Anyways, I have a numerous amount of questions to ask you experienced Cougar owners.
It is a 1973 Cougar with a 351C 2barrell. It has 101,000 miles on it. It is all original. Not sure of the transmission yet, FMX or C6. My goals with it are to add some performance. Nothing crazy, but want something to on occasion bracket race and have some decent qtr mile times. Only looking for say high 14's. The horsepower on the engine looks to be at around 160. I plan to look at it again and ask more questions. What will it take to meet my goals? Was thinking the usual; better inhale and exhale. What qtr mile times can i expect with a single plenum intake, holley 750 CFM, mild hydraulic cam and performance dual exhaust?
Also, if anyone knows the length of a 73 please let me know. Need to make sure it will fit in the garage.
Thanks all for the help
