    351c 2v 4 bbl intake options

    Nope - I have a Performer 351C-2V Dual Plane with factory Ram Air.

    Hello my name GERMY from Texas, do you love my 1972 Mustang Fastback 351W ?

    I'm putting my '80 Jeep CJ-7 back together and will need one last inspection sticker myself. I have mixed feelings on doing away with the safety inspections, considering there are plenty of cars on the road with approved safety inspections/stickers that have no business being there. I don't...

    LED Headlight Conversion with Direct Fit Water Shields

    This is very cool! I bought a set of Oracle H4s w/Halos for my Jeep, and had to trim the factory buckets just a little to fit them. I was so pleased with the almost OEM look of these newer lights, that I've been kicking around a set for the Mach 1. Here's what they Oracles look like next to...

    71-73 Monte Carlo Bar Installed

    Very Nice, OpiemusRex! It reminds me of the one I saw in the car that inspired me to get mine.

    Adding center gauges to a car that didn't come with them

    I love those Bosch guages - I replaced my Ammeter with a Voltmeter and just wired it as aftermarket, but I pulled the gauge apart to fit in a little better with the other factory gauges. I'm thinking I might eventually replace the others with their Bosch counterparts and do the same thing, but...

    Hello my name GERMY from Texas, do you love my 1972 Mustang Fastback 351W ?

    Welcome from West Texas! Mine looked very similar when I got it (right down to the wheels), although I think yours is a much nicer starting point. Glad you got it running - it also looks like you have a lot of viable parts you can clean-up and re-use. Good for you! Keep us posted on your...

    Center armrest console install

    I swapped my FMX out for an AOD transmission I scored from a buddy who was swapping for a T-5 in his '89 5.0 Mustang GT. The shifter action is opposite of the standard FMX/C4/C6 shifters our car came with, so I used the shifter (cable and all) that came with the AOD. The big advantage is that...

    Center armrest console install

    The rear view mirror display options are lot better these days than the one I found for mine back in 2014. It was a Pyle unit that clipped onto the existing mirror, and was clunky to use and looked out of place. I'm looking at a newer unit that replaces the RVM altogether and even have a...

    Center armrest console install

    I think possibly the main dash assembly might be rotated a bit. If you can get the bottom portion to rotated forward (toward the firewall a few inches) that should put you in the right place... provided the center stack bezel is fitted properly up against the sheet metal dash assembly. Here's...

    New from Texas here

    Welcome from West Texas. VERY cool, and I love the B&M Megashifter... although, after seeing how much of the center console was sacrificed for it, I'm glad I haven't gotten one for mine yet.

    This has got to be one of the strangest optioned cars I've seen

    The entire Ram Air system is missing, actually... including the hood with the hood locks, plenum, plumbing and correct TuTone hood paint. The only part of the Ram Air that survived was the decals, and the call-out on the Marti Report. Puzzling. You'd think that if it showed up in the Marti...

    Did anyone see this? Another hack job at Mecum goes for $51,500!

    Take a pill - we're not arguing here, just stating our opinions that happen to differ. For instance, unless you're familiar with the car and/or the owner, I would almost have to assume the owner's not being completely honest. I admit that I'm jaded on these things because when I was working...

    Did anyone see this? Another hack job at Mecum goes for $51,500!

    For THAT kind of money for an H-Code, it had better well be spot-on and correct! This seller wants people to think it's a more valuable M-Code (351C-4V) car from initial impression. How many H-Codes have you ever seen with 351-4V engines? Granted, it's probably either 'just a decal' mistake...
