This is the linkage setup that I have been running for over 40 years on the street and track. No Progressive linkage, and it has run great. See if anyone can figure out what this engine is. As I will bet that almost none of you have ever seen one before outside of Randy Gillis, Jay Cushman and maybe a few of my other friends.

Here's a link to part one and part two of an article that directly relates 331 stroker small block Ford. The results may surprise you.

Doug, you would be far better off running 390's or 465's over running a 600 or larger carburetor. You would pick up performance overall. I have Run 390's and 465's on my 302 Windsor like I said for over 40 years. They have run great all the way to 8200 RPM. I used to run the car quite a bit at Willow Springs back in the day. Here is the best article I've ever seen on 2x4 setups and they have a lot of pictures including the Dual Dominator setup on a couple of Trans-Am cars. They also have a picture of the Cobra 2x4 Carter intake. The Duel Dominator setup uses an IR intake which I have along with a pair of NOS carburetors and the offset distributor that it requires. Randy and I have known each other for over 40 years and he is one of the most knowledgeable people on Ford engines especially small blocks that I know

You can use Dominator linkage for that. Those carbs ares so big you mount them sideways. Linkage works fine.

Doug where can you find the duel Dominator linkage? I have that setup and I'm intending to build an engine before too long for the Dual Dominator. I have been running the Dual Holley set up on a factory TA style intake for over 40 years and it runs great. I also have another NOS TA intake and also one of the independent team 2/4  TA intakes. I figured I would have to custom make the linkage for the dominators but if you know where to get it I'd sure like to know.

This is probably the best article concerning the electric Mustang.

Instead of calling it The Mach e they might call it the Mocker-e 😂

 this is part of what is allowing Ford to keep making real Mustangs because it helps Ford meet CAFE requirements which if you don't remember means corporate average fuel economy. In 2021 they will be coming up with a GT version with about 450 horsepower and over 600 foot pounds of torque.

It looks like the door for sale was from the driver side and the one in the crash picture is the passenger side. The numbers were probably painted free hands so that could account for the different shapes of the sixes.

Go to the Tire Rack Tech section if you want to learn a lot of information about tires. I believe they have the conversion from old size to newer sizes at least they used to

 putting me in a different lubricant May mess with the warranty and they might refuse to touch the tranny again. I would talk to Bruce at modern Driveline as he has been working with these transmissions for over twenty years and even Shelby went to him for help  with putting newer style transmissions in some of their vehicles.
