Personally, while the 'shaker' scoop is popular (and many were let down when the new Mach didn't have it) I think a lot of people forget about 71-73 Mach 1s with ram air hoods.  In my opinion, a NACA/NASA styled hood like ours would have looked great on the latest Mach and worked well with the...

I like them too, they actually look a lot like the wheels the Hot Rod magazine Crusher Camaro received on a recent episode.  What are your backspacing specs?

I've rebuilt, tuned and modified Holley and Holley-design carbs in various applications over the years, but have recently decided to try another tuning tool in one of my Mustangs. I recently had a full exhaust done on my Mach 1, complete with X-pipe, mated to my Patriot headers and, at the...

I've actually considered Toyota's Spruce Green Mica...pops in the sun and the hue looks like it could fit in as a color option of the '70s. -I'm a fan of green

Looks like the topic of port size difference is addressed at Summit Racing, posted under the Q&A section of this manifold.

Thanks Don, being that I wasn't under a time constraint meant I could work one port at a time and pay attention to detail and symmetry.

While this isn't a topic specifically about 71-73 Mustangs, it does share some DNA as it revolves around porting my 302 heads 🙂 My father and I are resto-modding a '73 Maverick and decided to build a stout 302 to set between the shock towers.  I have two early model 302s in my workshop/garage...

Good luck with the channel. Nice car (who doesn't like a 4-speed 351 Cleveland car?) -I'd like to have seen more with the new wheels. Any pics? Was the offset custom or off the shelf?

I had a 460 in a '71 Mustang that I was building in the 90s, this 400 reminded me much of that engine when it came to space....or the lack thereof I should say

Wanted to pass this along in case it may be helpful, though I know a 400 engine is not a popular swap for 71-73 Mustangs.  So last spring we purchased a '72 Mach 1 that was in need of TLC but had good bones.  It was originally a 302/3-speed manual vehicle that, at some point, someone had...

So no big-n-little tires, 6-71 blower and wheelie bars??? LOL

Thanks, to some degree, that was my inspiration. I wanted to do something that looked period correct and might be what Ford would have done with our ram air hoods

I must have got lucky, because mine have worked great for years now and provide a crisp white, luminous light, far better than my originals.  ::thumb::

Hardly, I wouldn't do anything to the car that couldn't be returned to stock. But if it were mine, I'd enjoy the car by building to look like the Bullitt in its heyday and enjoy driving it...with some subtle modern conveniences. It's not like I said I'd add a fiberglass  body kit, coyote engine...

I actually like the way my LED lights aid to darken the grill arena...until they're lit, obviously.

I would have to restore it too. But I would drop in a 428 since dimensionally same as the 390 (keep original engine in crate) and add some better braking, original-looking wheels in 17 or 18 inch, and straight body with Highland green paint and several coats of clear...among other things

To each his own; I've never been much of a Bullitt Mustang fan (original or later model special editions) -Maybe if the movie car had been equipped with a 428 CJ....

Upgraded here too. Bought these from Amazon, and liked them so much that I upgraded my Mach 1 as well. They were just about 'plug-n-play', and the difference for me at night was incredible.

I bought a fiberglass hood for my coupe a few years ago from a previous owner and don't remember which brand it is. However the fit is decent. I had to Dremel the scoops out to make them "functional". I wrapped it in a 3M product and added my own graphic to break up the sea of black, since our...

I did a vinyl wrap as well and I agree, it's pretty tough, cheaper than a paint job, and can be swapped out whenever you like.  I spent $80 and about 3-4 hours doing the install myself.  Then added a simple graphic.
