Out of curiosity why did the A\C option dictate the rear gear size???

So since I have the staggered shocks my car came factory with the 351c 4bl and 15" rims??  Would it also indicate a posi rearend?  What gear ratio would it mst likely come with since it is a Q code 4 speed car?

midlife, Do you send a refurbished harness back to me and use mine as a core or do you go through mine? Do you label the connectors before sending it back? What is typical turnaround time?

I have read some posts where people have replaced the gauge cluster circuit boards and still had issues with the lighting.  Is this a real concern?   Where is the best place to buy a new circuit board and be assured it is the highest quality?

Yes I am pretty sure I have decided to use the stock 351c instead of the 460... :D   I reserve the right to change my mind again though... lollerz  So, I have some questions on stroking the 351.  I know several of you have done this. You have to clearence the block??   Can you do your own...

I think after looking at all that needs to be done I will stick with building the 351.

Is the staggered rear shocks an option?  Mine has one in front of rear end and 1 in the rear.  Is this the "drag pack" option or is it just how they all came?

LOL  ::thumb::  You are definitely right I need to just start wrenching on it again.  This heat and humidity is keeping me out of the garage but not stopping the wheels from turning or is it the hamster running on the wheel in my head. lollerz lollerz

Still trying to figure out if I'm going to build the 460 block I have on the stand or pull the 351c and rebuild it.  What will transfer to the 460 from the 351?  Bell housing, pulleys? AC compressor, motor mounts, distributor???  Anything else that might transfer?

I have not heard back from the guy since he sent me pictures. He must have come to his senses and thought about the values of the 2 cars when you compare them. Oh well its not like I dont love my 72 I just love a 69 a little bit more. I will have one one day.

I guess I should have said I wanted it to look like a BOSS 429.  The motor would be a 460.  I have to do some research and see how hard it will be to change it from a automatic transmission to a manual.  If I cant make it a manual transmission car I will just keep my 72 and keep a 69 4 speed on...

Just for the heck of it I put the 72 out on CL and said I would trade only for a 69 or 70 I would not sale.  A guy sent me a text and said he would rather sale but might would be interested in a trade. I have always wanted a 69 but a 72 was my first hotrod and this one is a numbers matching 4...

I have a 72 Mach 1 351CJ, 4 speed, AC, project car. Its a 1 of 1 optioned car per my MARTI report. Body is solid and has new floor pans. It needs paint and interior. I have a chance to trade for a similar condition 69 Mach 1 with a 351W auto. Why should or should I not do it?

Ok I know Im all over the place but I am trying to decide which way to go before spending too much money.  I have a 460 block but will need the full rotating assembly and I would probably put on TF aluminum heads.  I am trying to decide if I should build the 460 since its on the stand and then...

New box looks good.  I have been considering the HF boxes too.  I need a bigger one bad.

So bottom line my car would not have come with manual brakes\no booster if it has front disks?  Is it possible that someone pulled the booster because it went bad and then just stuck a manual master cylinder back on it or is it more likely that they did a front disk brake conversion?

My 72 Mach has front disks but they are manual brakes.  I thought all disk brake setups were power from the factory??  Did someone do a disk conversion on my car at some point and leave them as manual??

I need a compressor in the garage but only have $500 to spend.  It needs to run air tools and an HVLP gun for painting the mustang.  I have been looking at a Kobalt one from Lowes but wondering if there are better options.

My center guage panel wood grain is all messed up.  I would like to keep it but in its present condition it is too bad to reuse. Do they make replacement woodgrain? Is it hard to install correctly? How do you remove the old stuff?

DAMN!!!  Is nothing easy!! lollerz I do see that Dallas Mustang has the Dynacorn hood with the pin holes already cut out.  https://www.dallasmustang.com/hood-assembly-1971-1973-with-nasa-scoop-hood-pin-holes.html
