Hello,
We are going on a road trip! I completed 2 years of chemo in December so we are looking at a Route 66 road trip. We will likely start in Rolla, MO (1 hour from home) and end in Las Vegas or maybe Los Angelas. So I am beginning to prep my 73 Mach 1 for the trip. So I have some questions for the trip.
1. Has anyone done this trip? If there is a certain group to get in touch with please help with this info.
2. What would everyone recommend for drivetrain upgrades? I have a 4 bbl 351c with the factory C6 hooked to ford 9 inch 3:50 trac loc. Also has the Holley sniper with hyperspark ignition. I was thinking a transmission upgrade but unsure which one to replace the C6 with.
3. Comforts. I already have Classic Auto Air. Maybe cruise control?
4. Safety and security. I already have aftermarket shoulder belts but was thinking Lug nut locks. Should I security system? Some sort of tracking system?
5. Other. What am I not thinking of?
Thanks for all the input in advance!
Jeff
