Thanks guys. Yes, I took a dremel tool with cutting wheel for fiberglass - cutting it was very simple. Now I have run into the next issue - compressor and clutch (from the original 351C) mounted up to the bracket, but the compressor pulley doesn’t align with the other pulleys (adjustable...

Thanks again everyone, haven’t had a chance to get started, but hopefully I can sometime this weekend. A friend of mine actually found the unicorn - he located a listing for the correct shroud and even contacted the guy for me - owner knows that these are almost impossible to find and therefore...

Thanks for the advice. Like I said - I am sure I will butcher it - so I will not be submitting pics afterwards and I will just pray that I can locate the correct shroud before next summer!!!!

Almost $600 with shipping, but when its the only one available on the planet, you can name your own price (plus its already been sold). I have tried to call Crites and nobody would answer the phone, and I have emailed them twice, but no responses yet, I will keep trying. I was also heard that...

I will do some further research before I order one because it states that it will fit any engine size, and not specific to the big block. Don’t want to end up buying one and still having the same problem with the AC compressor pulley hitting the shroud! The price is good - the one that I tried...

Sorry, typing on my phone - should be fan and not dan!!!!😂

Its not that the dan is sitting too high, its just pushed too far forward into the shroud, and someone can correct me if I am wrong, as I haven’t actually seen the mystical 429 fan shroud, but I am hoping that it is not quite as deep as the 351 shroud. If I shave about a half inch off the...

Thanks Kilgon - I just shot Crites an email and will try to give them a call before the end of the week.

Good evening everyone! I purchased a 71 Mach 1 at auction two years ago - its an original 351 car but the previous owner had switched out the original engine for a 429. Its also a factory AC car, however, the AC had not been re-installed, and the brackets that came with the car were actually...

I had a similar issue when I recently upgraded to a Pertronix billet distributor - bought an Ignitor III and matching coil, and then was told by Pertronix that the Ignitor II was compatible with the stock tach and that the III was not, so I ordered the II and matching coil, installed it and tach...

According to the door plate, it is a factory black exterior with black knit vinyl interior. Previous owner repainted it about 5 years ago - I just need to add the Mach 1 stripe down the sides. I have not ordered a Marti report for it yet, was looking at that last night while watching football.

Plan to stick with the original black/gray. TMI sells new skins that match the factory pattern - will try to keep the original buckets and replace the foam and vinyl. I will post pictures when I get it done.

Good evening Mustang fans! Lifelong Blue Oval guy here - started with my first vehicle ever - 1967 Ford F-100. Since then, I have owned a 1986 SVO Mustang, 1988 Bronco, F-350, and a whole host of F-150’s. I also have a 1974 Bronco that was purchased new by my father-in-law and my wife drove...
