By any chance is the grill upside down, it kind of looks that way to me. Also I agree with 72MustangSprint above, you should be able to remove the grill without taking the extensions off. I have done it many times and for the same reason going from the non-Mach 1 grill to the Mach 1 grill. Good...

I know that I should be working on my mustang more and owe an updated video for the other thread that I added the wrong video to but I have been spending my Saturdays over the last year or so helping a friend get his 55 Ford Fairlane Victoria model with the 292 Y block running. Finally got it...

Sorry about the short video, I thought I posted a longer one. I will try to update it this weekend. Tom

I have been negligent in posting updates but it has been about a 7 year project to get it here. I bought it as a 1973 Mach 1 with no engine, no interior, no trunk, sitting in a field for about 10 years. I bought an engine from a member here, loved Mustangs Unlimited before they closed because...

Thanks Don.

Thanks everyone, I am going to try to do some testing tonight, that is if the rain doesn't hit me again. I appreciate all the comments and advice. Tom

Thanks Bentworker, with just normal acceleration and stomping on it, it feels like it shifts at those RPMs. I will be honest, I don't do a lot of "normal" acceleration when driving it, I do step on it a lot when starting from a complete stop. When cruising at a specific speed, the RPMs are not...

Good evening everyone, for those with an FMX transmission and a 351C, can anyone tell me what your shifting RPMs are when going from 1st to 2nd, and 3rd? I have a 3:55 rear end gears. Mine is shifting from 1st to 2nd at around 3000 rpms and 2nd to 3rd a little later. Acceleration is great, I am...

I am so sorry that this happened to you but glad you are ok. Let it play out with insurance and see what they say about it. I think I have a drivers door that if you needed it, can have it. I am in Georgia so it would be a few hour drive for you to pick up but just let me know. I may also have...

Great job Eric, it is a very good feeling to hear it start up on the first shot. I felt the same way when I started mine and each and every time since. Congratulations. Tom

I was just thinking about you a couple days ago wondering when you would pop back up and be on the look out for another 71-73, glad to see you are back. Tom

Agree with Chuck, great honor. I am a couple hours away, hopefully I can make it and meet up with you. Congratulations Tom

Great job Irish, I had a fun time getting my headers to fit around the steering box as well. It took about 6-8 test fittings after the hammer use to get it to fit properly. Good luck Tom

My dipstick does not have the twist on the end but after smoothing out the end where I cut the hook off of it, it does go back into the tube and closes properly. From what I am tracking and from West Coast Cougars site, the 1972 FMX transmission has the hook on the end. Even though my mustang is...

Thanks Sheriff41 and Vicus for the replies and picture. I will check to see if the sharp end is getting hung up. From the picture posted, it looks like I may have the wrong dipstick. More investigating to be done this weekend. I will update when I have it figured out. More to follow. Thanks. Tom

Quick question, I have an FMX transmission that I have not had any issues with, I rebuilt it a couple years ago. Recently, I had a delay with shifting from Park to Reverse. I went to pull the dipstick to check fluid level and could only pull the dipstick out about two inches and no more, it was...

Why do I keep checking here, it makes me spend more money, lol. I am interested if those are the prices you are going with. Please let me know what shipping for both are to 30907. Thank you. Tom

So sorry to hear about this, prayers for you and your wife coming your way now. Tom

We hope so to Gil, hang in there brother. Tom

I posted this in my other thread specific to the fuel gauge but figured I would post here as well to close it out. I got it working tonight, when I set the dash back in place, the main harness that goes behind the cluster got pinched. There is supposed to have a plastic routing sheath but that's...
