Yeah, nevermind the fact that that's probably a big block...

All you need is to drop your idle and create a vacume leak and your call will sound like that.

Its sounds like a small block and yes I think the flowmasters sound like  on it.
The big thing w/yesterdays cars are carburetors that crackling off/hunting idle is do to the carb now that is one of carbs 2 good points the other that they look so nice but you will sacrifice HP w/a carb.
And I don’t hear much of a cam in that car. Remember if you have fuel injection its tougher to hear a cam cause the FI is always correcting itself.

I'm pretty sure a 5.0 HO with long tubes and a off road H-pipe, and some nice s will sound like that or better.

An B303 or F303 will give you the sound you seek.


In fact just about any cam with a 230+@.050 duration and a 108 lobe seperation will too

My car sounds pretty similar, not quite as throaty, though. I'm not sure what cam's in it, but I believe it's an E-303. If anybody else has a guess, let me know! lol, just click on the youtube link under my sig.

That's how I found out I had a vac leak:hick: .



On the sound point I should have a clip of a 5.0 with the stock HO cam, GT-40s, and 2.25 duals with no cross over soon:D (I know I need 2.5 pipes I'll get them soon I just ran out of money:flame: ) . Till then check my sig. I have a clip of the stock 5.0 with headers and a 2.25 dual with no cross over. Sounds pretty good.

It's not a big block.  Just a 350, says so in the description.  It's also running Flowmaster Original 40's.  Sounds nice.  I still think  the best sounding motor ever is the 4.6 with LT's and true duals.

My buddy just got his e303 in his 93 stang with mac longtubes and H-pipe and it lopes a bit at idle.  He has dynomax lers and it sounds really badass and its super snappy just shoots up to 6k in a heartbeat.
