Been researching the last 2 days... even looked at GM trans but I think the reason most don't have OD is due to the power. After markets I have found are $4.5k for torque rating of 550. Think I'll just go the c6 route like everyone else. As far as heads and other parts idc, all will be replaced...

Thanks guys, was trying to find a donor with everything needed. I'd like a 460, with OD. 9" rears are hard to find here without ordering a new one. And building up a tranny to handle the 5-600 hp I'm aiming for seems pretty expensive. My end goal would be 50/50 track street. She has a 302, c4...

Hey guys, got a few crazy questions. My engine, 302, blew 2 days ago and I have been wanting for a long time to drop a 460 in her. So I was wondering about buying a late 80s donor truck with a 460, zf5, and 10.25 rear end. I know the 460 will fit with change of mounts, but what about that zf5...

@Mister4x4 i dont have either, sorry man. Thanks for the replies, i think im gonna go ahead with the engine and change the rear

did some research and i can put in 3.73 or 3.55 in an 8" still kind of afraid of the 3.73... as far as changing the rear to an 8.8... seems to cost asmuch as putting the engine in... and at that point why not opt for the 9"??? also, Will i be able to move that car if i put the engine in before...

thanks for reply and for the heads link. can i go 3.5 rear in 8" rear end? and will this kill my MPG (all in all i have to get moving first heh) what do u think about the cam?? is it gonna be capable of getting me to 350hp? i would like to atleast double the hp to 280 at a minimum. Thanks

So, i have a stock 85 HO 302 w/ AOD. it is going into a 73 mach1 (keeping origninal on shelf). The mach is F code, C4 trans (thought was fmx but not) and has 2.79 rear gears. My main priority is putting that engine and trans into the car to increase hp/drivability. When it goes in i will be...

Thanks a million for all the posts, i got to the beach just fine. did exactly what OMS said. LOL then my water pump blew right when i got there. soooo ripped it out while parts house was ordering send friend fiance to grab it on a 4 hour rd trip to Galveston due to the ferry. Yea gave me the...

locked keys in trunk of 73 mach 1... i know... phone rang and i was cussing before it closed. how do i get into the rear without busting that cardboard piece? TY in advance, trying to get to beach before dark.

I've been looking for a mach1 center console with instruments. i didn't even know they had a different center console until yesterday. plus seems like a really cool way to add the gauges i need. Do you know if all mach 1's came with the center console with instruments? mine doesn't have em. ty...

ty again for the good info, i don't know much about trans so ty for the thoughts... it would appear i have more research and questions to ask

ty for the quick response brother. that aughta be good enough for me for some time. Do you think its worth the money for all that? all is used minus the cam which id havta put in, but i also gotta rip the stock heads off also so no biggie.

So i want to keep my original motor and trans in good shape and am looking to replace it and set it aside so that i can build another engine to cruise with. This is a daily driver, I'm just trying to get a little more HP than stock while keeping drivability. I came across a deal on crags list...

Well, i found a fix but its not the fix i wanted. Apparently the mid 70's to mid 80's model trucks fit the 69-73 model mustangs cougars and tourinos. NOT original which i dislike but the unit I'm thinking about getting is super clean and has FM along with AM/8 track, fixed but not so much

Yeah i heard that, the closest are GT's not ST's and they only have raised outlines, but i did hear rumors that there are contractors that have the rights to make those tires. but thats about a lll heh not much help. They are fresh tho no cracks or wear. If i had some money to blow id put em up...

You mean should visually see it move? the only thing i have to go off of since i have no sound was a vid of a guy changing tracks on you tube and if thats the case then no it does NOT change tracks.

She's got the 302 (not boss) original to her with 41k on her, hasn't been rebuilt tho so probably sooner than later but man she runs good. Aftermarket exhaust don't know what kind but looks like a 3" x pipe of some sort. Sounds deep like an old muscle car should. No other mods that i know of...

This is my baby... Qurater-life crisis after the second big D to the same gal... Cant say i didn't try heh. Got some more pics but they aren't loading and she needs a bath fore i take ne more.

well thats good news, at least when i find the head adjustment i can still try that heh. Thanks for the reply. Otherwise its pretty expensive for my pocket book at least to get it fixed professionally

Alright i will post pics (got up early on weekend to get this sucker lined out) in a bit of just what I'm talking about. But a quick synopsis of what happening... AM radio works fine other than presets... all speakers work fine (better than expect actually), so she is wired properly. Alright...
