    AOD Swap

    I am having a shop build a proper AOD for my 427 Windsor 73 Mach 1. I am looking for a fairly "traditional" looking shifter. Any suggestions?

    Tremec to Automatic Swap

    My 73 currently has a TKO 600 transmission with a 427 Windsor making 570 ft-lbs of torque. After buying and driving my 70 Dart Swinger with an automatic (727) I am finding that I want to move to an automatic with overdrive on the Mustang. I am retired and am done tinkering. What I want is a...

    Modern 10 Speed in a 73 Mach 1

    After buying my Dodge Dart Swinger with its three speed automatic I am seriously considering swapping the Tremec TKO 5 speed in my 427 Windsor equipped car. Is anyone making a "kit" for the current 10 speed swap? If not what are my best options?

    Took a Nice Little Ride Today.

    First longer trip since the Pro Flo 4 install. It was maybe a 200 mile loop here in the Texas Hill Country. Folks were out in numbers from hot rods and Harley's to loads at the wineries and just walking the streets. It was great to see. I had a nice Thai lunch and hit a classic car dealer and a...

    Pro-Flo 4 Up and Running

    Well today I picked up my car, a 427 Windsor 73 Mach 1, from the shop and I am more than pleased. I had dismantled the manifold so I could have it powder coated black. They did the install as I am have never been comfortable with "wiring". As has been written easy cold start, crazy throttle...

    Rear "Trap" Door Releases

    I was opening mine today for the about the third time since I bought the car five years ago. It opened fine but the "release latches" looked like ordinary nails to me and while playing with one it pulled out. What should they be?

    What Goes Above My Center A/C Vent?

    I installed a new center dash section deleting the gauges as I installed a Dakota Digital system. What belongs in this void?

    Trunk "Plugs"

    What are these called and where can I get them? I see kits but it is unclear to me that they contain these. TIA.

    Dome Light Replacement

    Dumb question here but I need to swap the bulb in the subject light on my 73 Mach 1 and see nothing on it in the manuals. I have proven to to pretty solid breaking little tabs when doing such (just did it on my 17 Boxster S...). I assume I squeeze in the middle of the long sides and pull? TIA.

    I will soon have a set of JBA long tubes arriving for my 427 Windsor that will land in my '73 Mach 1 Q code. Has anyone used the subject header bolts? Thoughts or proven alternatives appreciated. I will be using Remflex gaskets. I tried a search to no avail.

    Engine Build Complete

    I spent last Thursday watching the assembly of my Windsor based 427. I wanted a good street engine making torque/HP in the RPM range I tend to drive. On Friday it was on the dyno for break in and tune. After 16 runs the tune was nailed. I am more than pleased with the results. It is going in my...

New tie rods ends via Moog and new idler and pitman arms. New 4 1/2 leaf mid-eyes...
