Scott Hubbard and his 1965 Mustang visited Late Model Restoration (LMR) for dyno tuning. The classic is powered by a 5.0 L small-block V8 from a 1985 Fox Body Mustang. It features a Ford Racing E303 camshaft, longtube headers, ported OEM iron “E5” heads, Edelbrock Performance RPM intake manifold, and Holley 600 cfm carburetor. Behind the motor is a T5 five-speed manual transmission, factory driveshaft, and 8-inch rear end with 3.0 ratio. The combo made 237 hp (174 kW) and 257 lb-ft (348 Nm) of torque on 93 octane fuel.
