    Unfortunately I am still looking for an original or reproduced wiring harness for the connection between starter relay and alternator, so if anyone still has one, please contact me. The alternator has 55 amps.

    Mustang Mach 1 1973 351C V2 H-Code

    Before, there was a chrome-colored alternator, this was replaced with a factory version and I am pleased that the engine has also regained its originality. the reconditioned servo pump, now colored black again, also finds its place in the engine compartment. in the meantime, I have obtained an...

    And reassemble everything, in the meantime I had given the engine compartment a coat of black silk matt paint. It now looks much better than before. I'm happy with the result. The original parts have been put back in place.

    Unfortunately, the previous owner sprayed the entire engine compartment including all parts in it black and the engine block in Ford blue without removing it. So the blue only goes as far as where the paint went, and the black is everywhere, and the original wiper motor was brought back to its...

    Mustang Mach 1 1973 351C V2 H-Code

    Then we continued with the details on the underbody and the trunk. At the same time I bought the original aluminum rims from 73 in the USA and put them on. I think they look much better straight away. I also started to overhaul the original parts as close as possible to the factory condition...

    Mustang Mach 1 1973 351C V2 H-Code

    In January 2024, I started with the complete underbody to bring it back to OE specifications. The car was professionally dry ice blasted in advance to get rid of dirt and other impurities. This was absolutely necessary, as the car was obviously very fond of being chased across open fields in France.

    Some more details from the end of the year 2023 before I started with the underbody.

    Mustang Mach 1 1973 351C V2 H-Code

    Hello everyone, I have already asked a few questions without having had the time to show my project myself. I would now like to make up for this and show you the current status. I started with the Mustang in June 2023. The car came from America to the Netherlands, then to France and now in...

    Vacuum hose routing

    yes the diagram is closest to my engine but I am confused to the max because I very rarely recognize these parts on newly remanufactured engines. Conversely, does that mean I don't necessarily need them if I can't find them as reproductions? I also still can't recognize which parts were...

    Vacuum hose routing

    Hi all, is this the Spark Delay Valve Bypass Solenoid, or which solenoid is this exactly? I'm wondering if it's necessary for my 73 351C 2V Mach AT/AIR? Thanks Ben

    Original air filter or reproduction?

    So guys, today I brushed my air filter (I thought the right one) for the 351C V2. After detailing it, the head of the air cleaner looks different from the head of the V2 air cleaner in the picture. It looks familiar, but is not identical to the 351C V2. I bought it one ebay from the states...
