what is the best gear ratio to run a 90 mustang with a stock engine?

It depends on engine modifications and what you're going to do. Race 1/4 or 1/8 mile drags? Tractor pulling? Oval racing?

im currently builing a 4.3L for my blazer...im putting in comp cams cam #56-460-8..with this cam i had to replace springs and have the heads cut to allow room for the new springs...i have not yet put this engine in yet but will be soon..i also matched it to a 700-e raptor junior transmission......anyway the engine will support bout any cam u put in as long as you machine for it...i cant give any ideas except i would bump up the compression with pistons, cam, roller lifters, roller rockers, intake, exhaust with headers, and a good high stall converter...

About 450?  Do you mean 4500?  Go to Perma-cool's web site and they have a graph that tells you what cfm for the size of your engine.  I have a mustang with a 302 and it needs to be around 3000cfm.  I would imagine a 360 would need more.

i have a 2000 corvette and i was up to 150 in 5th gear. it has 6. i haven't been able to get the full 200 it's supposed to get...

Generally the 5.7L V8 with the vortech style heads can produce 220 to 250 hp in stock form, doing minor modifications can get you as high as 270 but you will never see that amount of power at your whells due to parasitic drains through the transmission and drivetrain.

go for the lighter frame and bigger engine. just make sure you brace the frame

At Mustang Racing Technologies we run a Novi 1200 supercharger on our 2005 at 8.5 psi.  We have no problems and have had it higher.  With current boost it is putting out around 400 horses.  If you are planning on more than 5 psi you need some serious computer remapping and fuel help.  CPR fuel rails, injectors, and an SCT tune are suggested.  Don't worry about the intake.

Mustang for sure.  easy to tweak.  whatever you get, throw in a nitrous kit in the trunk and you'll be flying like John Denver

You won't be going anywhere without a gearbox.\nBesides, horsepower has nothing to do with your ultimate top speed.  Horsepower is just a definition of work over time (Acceleration).\nRight now there is a spacecraft traveleing at over 100,000mph that has only 1/20,000th of a horsepower.\n\nIf you do happen to get the gearbox and select the best gear ratios you will probably be aerodynamically limited to about 132mph.  That is of course, if you haven't already turned in to a greasy spot.\n\nPlease ask your friends to keep us posted.\nYou may win the Darwin Award.

yes it will i swapped a integra motor into my HF CRX this car weighs 1800 pounds came stock with 67 horsepower and when i put the 135 horse integra motor from japan in it with the HF trans it went 90 mph in 2nd gear and got there real fast  it ran a 15.20 at pomona fair grounds it was a tight fit to say the least changing the fan belts was a bummer but possible theres kits out there you wont have to cut or weld just bolt up different adapter plates and motor mounts dont forget to get the computer and wiring harness from the vtech without that forget it

To start off, install a K&N air filter,or something of the same type. Next, put in a real good set of plugs{spark}like split fire,LGSpremium,Bosch.... Then ask around at the local parts place and see if they make a better chip for the Cav. I'm into V-Dubs so I don't know for sure if they do.Next make the exhaust as free flowing as you can and still be legal.  More air in, better burn, more air out makes any motor better.Most of this can be done fairly cheap too.  Have fun.

Ok assuming you are part of the real world and race on the street where they dont have a tree, sorry race chick. There are several things you can do to improve launch i have had a 89 mustang gt and i didnt do alot to the engine at first it was all about suspension and other things to get me off the line faster the first thing i done was put in a trunk mount battery kit to help waight transfer then 40/60 drag shocks fron edlebrock and eiback 1" lowering springs in the rear also i ran a pair of Nitto drag Radials and 3.73:1 rear gears you can email me @ williamb606@yahoo for specifics

1. manual clutch or centrifugal clutch? probably centrifugal if not climbing hills.\n\n2. ratio spread. How far apart to make the gearing or belts? Too far apart and you'll never make it into second gear. Too close, and you'll not go fast. Lower first if you want to climb hills.\n\nI would suggest a sheave pulley design for continuous ratio - no gears. The sheave is spring loaded so the belt digs down into the pulley halves when high torque occurs. Kind of an automatic transmission. Check www.graingers.com,\nsearch on "sheave".\nHave fun.

I couldn't agree more.  451 cubic inches of pure Mopar Muscle.  510 Hp 544 ft/lb of torque in my 68 Dodge Charger.  I wouldn't trade it for an Evo, Subaru, and definately not a honda.

Go tall it not only gives you more low end torque but adds horses in the entire power band. Not to mention if you get one thats ported it helps atomize the air/fuel mixture giving you better efficiency and power.

the specs are the same... but the compression isn't and the carburator is different, as well the intake housing.  So take to you local maine repair shop... check the aprt numbers on the gasket for the intake... if they are the same, order the gasket.... see if you can buy a used intake and carb..... and hey... give it a shot.... but also be warned.... I wouldn't run her full throttle..... I believe the connecting rods are thicker in the 90.... as well as the cylinder walls being thicker.
