What do you think of my 2.3?

Green78II · 03-30-2008

Hi, haven't been to the site for a while figured I post this. Its a short video I made of My 78.

YouTube - 1978 Ford Mustang II 2.3 startup, rev and walkaround

It's misfiring a bit in the video but its in the shop right now getting diagnosed.

Well.... wrapping the needle around the tach like that while sitting still isn't a very good idea with any engine, especially something overhead cam with mechanical followers (they tend to spit the followers out from under the cam when done that way!) But as far as sound, it sounds decent for a 2.3. They all come across as somewhere between a chainsaw and a sport bike with any kind of performance exhaust unless they have a turbo or a really aggressive camshaft.

Not a bad little video. You need to be easy on your poor motor though.

Thanks for the comments and yeah, I know its bad, it was an accident. I meant to only rev it to 4500-5000 but I got a little heavy footed. Anyway, I'm getting ready to put a 4bbl intake on it and a roller cam. Along with a 390 cfm Holley carb when I get the money.
