Here are a couple pics of the 06, not the best though. BTW the car was only running 5.50's in the second pic but the engine pic is current.


To the o/p sorry for the thread hijack

Yes its a early boss 429 style scoop that we modified to fit the 06 hood. That was before they made a bolt on boss 429 scoop for the 05-09 mustangs.

If any of you guys have seen a yellow and black all fiberglass tube chassis 2006 mustang @ Steele, Hunstville, Baileyton, or Montgomery that is my dads car. I have helped build that car from the ground up. It's a 545ci 460, 429cj 4 bolt main block, TFS A460 heads ported, Solid roller, A460 single plain intake and a alcohol dominator runs 5.20's @130+.

the a460 are definately a good head i have seen them make 800hp out of the box.sweet ride i love the o6 body styling.

With a low compression 501 with box stock early style A460's the car made 690 at the rear wheels. We never have dynoed the 545 though. I think a tunnel ram and a custom cam would help a good bit but we don't want to hack up the hood.

It ran 6.80-6.90's on gas. This was a very basic simple combo that ran pretty good. I put a set of old TFS cobra jet style heads on and it ran a best of 6.40 @ 109 with no other changes. I have a set of DOVE heads at home with CJ size valves and some port work. They have been 6.30's in another car and we only picked up a tenth going to CJ style heads. So those heads can work pretty good.

I have a D&D k member with hooker headers. The oil pan actually touches the k member (Front and mid motor plates are used for mounts) but it is still pretty tall. If you put in a k member get either a dropped one or get some spacers it will make a difference. My headers are a pain in the @ss too.

I still have the car but it needs some work now. but with very little work I could have it running again.

Do you want to sale the Dove heads? Thanks for info. I haven't decided which way i am going with car yet.

Unfortunately they are my dads and aren't mine to sell but I will ask if he's interested in selling them. 460's can be made to run strong with very little investment. Good luck which ever way you decide to go with it.
