Thank you so much for your input.

I need some input from you guys. I have been looking at purchasing a Grab-a-Trak suspension kit for my son's 1973 Mach 1 build. The car will be more of a daily driver than a weekend warrior. I also have reached out to Ohio Mustang for a quote for suspension kit. The car has a EFI 351C with AOD...

I received the push rods yesterday. So, this afternoon I will set the valves and install the intake.

Well finally got the D0AE-N quench heads back from the machine shop. They freshened them up, checked all critical areas and changed valve springs. I ordered an intake, and headers. I decided to go with the Performer RPM since I could not find anyone with an available Blue Thunder. I went with...

delawarebill, I will check into Champion radiators, thanks. The stock shroud will work on these?

73pony, I wish my car had the original radiator to use. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Greetings once again, I am in the process of gathering needed parts for my son's 1973 Q code Mach 1 build. What is the best direct fit factory style radiator and shroud to buy? I want the car to stay cool on 100 degree south Mississippi days. Probably the bigger the better. I will probably do...

Mesozoic, What suspension upgrades have you made? Interested in how much drop in front and back. I had planned on 1" drop front and rear with 17 X 8's at all four  corners wearing 245 45 R17's. Trying to visualize the stance and ride height. I want the staggered look but its my son's car. I...

Anyone used Doug's D6714 headers on their build? C6 or AOD clearance issues? Please leave feedback its much appreciated in advance.

Boilermaster, Yes, it is a custom grind from Comp Cams. I really wanted to order a custom from Blykins but already had this one available. Blykins seems to understand the specific needs of the 4V. dice d20

In case anyone is wondering about camshaft specs: Competition Cams Hydraulic Roller duration @.050 224/230, ADV duration 275/281, lobe separation 110, intake center 106, lift 569/578 w/1.73 rockers (IVO 31.5, IVC 63.5, EVO 74.5, EVC 26.5, OVERLAP 58).

Yep, that is the spreadsheets I used to come up with the compression numbers.

Greetings guys, I need to know what is a safe dynamic compression ratio for 4V quench heads. The build is for my son's first car a 1973 Q code Mach 1. Currently, I have calculated the static compression at 10.29:1 and dynamic compression at 8.29:1. All calculations were done using spreadsheets...

Robsweden, I am very interested in knowing the mods done to the 4R70W. Please let me know how the headers fit with the AODE transmission. I am in the process of completing the same swap on my son's 1973 Mach 1. Thank you in advance.

OMS is Ohio Mustang?
