I couldn’t imagine the weight of a fully ready to install 426 Hemi head. Just for that reason alone I’d swap over to aluminum.
Step up to 5/8” studs and use whichever pattern you choose.
Smittybuilt come to mind, cheap, but you get what you pay for. Corbeau Baja low back are nice but pricey, same thing though, you get what you pay for.
I have now seen the worst looking funny car ever constructed.
From Pomona back in November…. [ATTACH]

How do you determine VE?
Super Modified back in the late 70’s. The Boss 302 Mavericks were pretty much made obsolete by the NHRA by around 1980. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Dyno Don in the red shirt in the background. Loved this era of pro stock. [ATTACH]
These little gems kinda remind me of a mudskipper. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The actual seat could be the same, but the upholstery pattern is different and the seat frames for a Mustang should be different I would think as...
Do yourself a favour and pick up an aluminum intake for it. The stock cast iron has got to weigh at least 50 lbs. I’d redo the fuel line with...
