Looks REAL nice, Jeff...GREAT JOB!! ~BT

This started off as a 302 2V - 3 Speed Grande  Original Color, but now a BBF, C6, 4:11 Traction Lok 472 CID (429 + 460 Crank + .060 bore), Edelbrock Performer RPM Cam, Intake, 850CFM Holley ~BT

Dan, As others have stated or inferred, it really doesn't matter whether your 351C is a 2V, 4V, CJ, HO or Boss unless you are shooting for or desire something rare and even that has qualifiers. ALL 351Cs can be built to perform at the equivalent (or better) level of any of the other 351C...

Mustangsally, Glad you decided to "officially" join us! I think I have the original "twin" to your car, except my yellow/black '73 Q-Code came with a C6.  Right now, it is undergoing a transplant to a 545 (but that is another story that is chronicled elsewhere here on the Site). Seeing your...

Welcome aboard, Kevin! As the original owner of a '73 Mach 1 that I have and continue to restomod, I look forward to reading of your "journey" with your '73 Mach 1. Please take your time and go through the different forums...there REALLY is a heck of a lot of GREAT information here that will...

March 28, 2018 - Update As noted in a post in another section on the site, I am currently working a couple of issues relative to the stock shifter and valve body. To recap: My current intent is to use a stock Ford shifter but since I am using a Broader transmission with the full manual valve...

Kevin, THAT does look really nice! Do you have the Reverse Valve Body? Refresh my memory please...what are the specs on your engine/transmission? Thanks! ~BT

That sounds like another GREAT approach, Don! Thanks!! ~BT

Very nice indeed, David! BTW, according to my references, the 332 was available (and used) in the '59. ~BT

Which shifter are you using? ...and Yes, I realize one can slip the transmission easily into the next gear with the stock shifter which is why I am trying to do my due diligence.  I have come to understand from one of the transmission "gurus"/racers on another site that the stock shifter works...

That is  ABSOLUTELY great that you two members were able to get together on this Mustang...GREAT story from both of you. Just shows you can NEVER give up hope and that stuff out here on the "Net" last for a long time. To think that your initial search on here was nearly two years ago and along...

I believe the attached link shows what you are looking for :). https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/p/12950-Pressure-Line-Outlet-Tube-Assembly-Power-Steering-Used-1971-1973-Mercury-Cougar-/-1971-1973-Ford-Mustang.html ~BT

Yes, those OE parts were definitely difficult to source but I actually have sources now for the individual parts. Bobby (Competition Carburetors in NV) who did the modifications on my 1000HP carburetor advised against using a ratchet shifter with the manual valve body.  Did you have any major...

As most of you know, 1971 was the only year where the big block (429) was installed in our cars from the factory. I, unfortunately, came late to the Mustang game as I got my first one (which I still have), a 1973 (Export Only) 351Cj with C6 and 3:25 traction lok rearend. Stationed overseas, I...

Yes, the rings you need should be .020 oversized. However the part number you cite (E251KC) appears to be standard size.  You will need Seal Power E251K20, per my research. ~BT
