Welcome from La Habra, CA. I too have gotten a bunch of info from this site. I'm just getting started on a 72 Mach to restore. Good luck with your project.

Today I took the car out to AAA to complete the title transfer. This is the first time I drove it more than turning around in my driveway. The Trans won't shift into 3rd but I was really impressed with the power out of this very tired engine. Since I bought a 351C 4V with a C6 Trans to put in...

Thanks guys, I'll take a better look at it when I get the engine and trans home then I'll be able to see the stampings and will take some pics

I just found and bought a 1970 351C 4V engine with a C6 trans 3000 stall converter. I didn't have a camera with me and the engine was back in a corner where I couldn't get to see the numbers or dimples on the heads. He said they’re open chamber heads and the rebuild was done stock with a 30 over...

I believe this is due to the addition of the functioning front bumper. I was told the 73 motor actually set about an inch higher than the 71-72's.

very very cool. Enjoy the ride.

::welcome:: The first car I ever bought new was a 73 Mach 4V. Gold exterior with ginger interior. Picked up many chicks with that car. I'm now working on a 72 rebuild project car. You've come to a good place to get advise and help with your project. I'm ex-army (Viet Nam time) and I want to also...

Very Very cool!!!! What color are you going to paint it?;)

Thanks for the coments and advice I do like the Wilwood brand and their calipers look so very cool but I noticed the MPB systen will work with my stock rims. I'll check out both.

OK here we go. I'm starting the rebuild of a 72 Mach 1. It now has a 351C-2v with an FMX trans and just today I found a rebuilt 1970 351C-4v with a C6. The engine has less than 20k on a stock rebuild. I bought them today and have now abandoned my idea to rebuild my 2v with a stroker kit and...

Welcome from La Habra, CA.::welcome:: Your english is fine and your car is great. I too am rather new to this forum and have already gained a bunch of info just by crusing around the posts. I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing but wish you luck with your project. You have a great start...

I take it the H codes didn't come with duel exhaust. I didn't know. I had thought mine was completely stock. Please PM or EM me that laundry list. This is my first total restore project & I really don't want to use trial and error.

Ok.... I admit, back in 1973 I did remove the block-off plates from the hood with the idea that I would give more fresh air to the carb:huh:. I did keep the air cleaner fresh and the engine could have been eaten off of. I couldn't afford a real ram air setup. I didn't think of the hood decal...

When I went to Rob, my regular mechanic in La Habra to show him my new 72 Mustang and ask about a local engine builder he recommended Taylor Engine Rebuilding. Rob is a long time motor head and told me that back in the day, if you had a Taylor built engine you had the best in the area. They’re...

Where am I at with it? It’s sitting in my drive way untouched. I don’t intend on driving it again until the rebuilding and restoring is done. I’ve purchased a few interior and exterior parts from Don @ OMS and still waiting for more. I do intend on pulling the engine and trans and completely...
