    Can I get Opinions on Exhaust systems?

    Boy, did you just take me back, at least 35 years. In 88 I bought a solid 74 mustang II for $50. A glass pack was $12.99 and gas was .78 a gallon.

    Can I get Opinions on Exhaust systems?

    Thanks for the input everyone. And thanks for the trip down memory lane Spike Morelli. Loved it! This is a Sportsroof Mach 1 with a 351C and automatic. Believe it or not, shops are getting pretty stuck up here in TN. Several shops I called said they won’t touch anything as old as a ‘71 (same...

    Tire size

    I personally feel like the 70 gives a more comfortable ride. But looks wise, magnums and factory steels look better with 70’s. Centerlines, Weld etc. always look better to me with 60’s (Now that you’re even more confused lol )

    Can I get Opinions on Exhaust systems?

    I’m thinking about installing my own exhaust system on the ‘71 Mach 1. I’m going to stick with the factory 351c manifolds and just replace the dual exhaust system. Anybody had really good/bad luck with the kits? Thanks!

    Autolite 4100 and 289 performer intake

    If you look up a phenolic spacer for 4100 series on a ‘67 - 69 mustang, they came with a pcv port And were 1” thick. I know there are 1/4“ ones out there but they’re too thin for a pcv. Have you considered running off of manifold vacuum? If I remember correctly, there were 2 ports on the back...

    Question about engine frame mounts

    Hi. Welcome to the site! The Small block mount is different from the 385 series big block. Small block mounts from ‘64 on up will work fine. Before ‘64 the 260 and (then brand new 289) had offset bosses and used a different mount Altogether.

    Why our cars get bad fuel milage

    Somewhere I have a picture of my dad in his ‘71 Boss 351..Pulling a boat and trailer! and If that’s not bad enough, it was early spring in Michigan. He had SNOW TIRES on it! That should have cost about 5 mpg! if I can find the pic I’ll post it. or maybe none of you could stand to see it. (lol)
