Welcome from La Habra, CA. I too have gotten a bunch of info from this site. I'm just getting started on a 72 Mach to restore. Good luck with your project.

Today I took the car out to AAA to complete the title transfer. This is the first time I drove it more than turning around in my driveway. The Trans won't shift into 3rd but I was really impressed with the power out of this very tired engine. Since I bought a 351C 4V with a C6 Trans to put in...

Thanks guys, I'll take a better look at it when I get the engine and trans home then I'll be able to see the stampings and will take some pics

I just found and bought a 1970 351C 4V engine with a C6 trans 3000 stall converter. I didn't have a camera with me and the engine was back in a corner where I couldn't get to see the numbers or dimples on the heads. He said they’re open chamber heads and the rebuild was done stock with a 30 over...

I believe this is due to the addition of the functioning front bumper. I was told the 73 motor actually set about an inch higher than the 71-72's.

very very cool. Enjoy the ride.

::welcome:: The first car I ever bought new was a 73 Mach 4V. Gold exterior with ginger interior. Picked up many chicks with that car. I'm now working on a 72 rebuild project car. You've come to a good place to get advise and help with your project. I'm ex-army (Viet Nam time) and I want to also...

Very Very cool!!!! What color are you going to paint it?;)

Thanks for the coments and advice I do like the Wilwood brand and their calipers look so very cool but I noticed the MPB systen will work with my stock rims. I'll check out both.

OK here we go. I'm starting the rebuild of a 72 Mach 1. It now has a 351C-2v with an FMX trans and just today I found a rebuilt 1970 351C-4v with a C6. The engine has less than 20k on a stock rebuild. I bought them today and have now abandoned my idea to rebuild my 2v with a stroker kit and...

Welcome from La Habra, CA.::welcome:: Your english is fine and your car is great. I too am rather new to this forum and have already gained a bunch of info just by crusing around the posts. I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing but wish you luck with your project. You have a great start...

I take it the H codes didn't come with duel exhaust. I didn't know. I had thought mine was completely stock. Please PM or EM me that laundry list. This is my first total restore project & I really don't want to use trial and error.

Ok.... I admit, back in 1973 I did remove the block-off plates from the hood with the idea that I would give more fresh air to the carb:huh:. I did keep the air cleaner fresh and the engine could have been eaten off of. I couldn't afford a real ram air setup. I didn't think of the hood decal...

When I went to Rob, my regular mechanic in La Habra to show him my new 72 Mustang and ask about a local engine builder he recommended Taylor Engine Rebuilding. Rob is a long time motor head and told me that back in the day, if you had a Taylor built engine you had the best in the area. They’re...

Where am I at with it? It’s sitting in my drive way untouched. I don’t intend on driving it again until the rebuilding and restoring is done. I’ve purchased a few interior and exterior parts from Don @ OMS and still waiting for more. I do intend on pulling the engine and trans and completely...

I didn't take a pic of the VIN tag but it's 2F05H203018 so I guess it makes this 5H code. I've only had experience with the C6 in my 73 and after having it tweaked by a cousins trans shop in Bakersfield with shift kit and 3500 stall converter it worked great. Until I bought this car I didn’t...

I’m rather new to this forum but have been told to ask questions and post pictures. So here’s a little background and a few pictures of what I have to start with. In some of the pictures of the engine area the rust looks much worse than it is. The only area that really needs to be cut out and...

Thanks Don, This is exactly why I joined this group! Fantastic information from those who really care and love these beautiful cars. When I actually start the restoration of my 72 352C 2V I will be asking questions.

Welcome Max, I'm Mike from California. The first new car I ever bought was a 73 Mach 1 with a 351C-4V and I loved that car. I just bought a 72 Mach 1 with a 351C-2V and am going to start very soon on restoring it with my son. I've never tried to restor a car before but it's going to be fun and...

Mine would have to be the early C1 Corvetts.
