Thanks, the Marti report is on my "to do" list. I guess I'll have to see what it says. "Chevy rehab", that's funny. :dodgy: Actually, I still have 2 Camaros, an 88 Iroc-z convertible, and a 91 Z28, so I'm not completely rehabilitated yet. I also have a 95 T-bird so all is not lost. If it...

lollerz rofl MAN, THAT IS FUNNY!!!!

Hello again all. Here we go again. I have lots of questions about my 73 Mach 1 that hopefully you guys and gals can answer....or at least guestimate based on experience. 1. Would Ford have put a 9in in a base 302/auto Mach? Somehow I doubt it, but I can hope. 2. What transmission SHOULD my car...

Oh man!!!!! Those are SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT! I am sooo going to look at those headers when I build my 521. Thank you for posting those. My wife thanks you too.....in Peggy Bundy's voice...Thank XOLIEX kids. Thanks XOLIEX! Chris

I went by the car again today. Everytime I go over there I see something I didn't notice before. The taillight panel is pushed in a little, but NOT separated. The right taillight is loose at the bottom..silly me, should have noticed that. I also saw inside the trunk for the first time. The...

OK guys, I just got back from looking at my car.....no competition package. I did discover that it IS a factory air car. It seems that everytime I go look at it I see/find something new. I also looked inside the trunk for the first time today....no rust in the pans! Anyway, I thought I'd share...

Mr.Bill, that's really interesting information. I'll have to look under my 73 and see what it has. I have a base Mach 1 with a 302, standard interior, no fold down seat, etc. It does have disc brakes, which I figured where standard. I don't have the car at my house yet. (I'm still paying for it)...

GT5 is a PS3 exclusive. I was VERY excited when I read that they had a 71 Mach 1 in the game. The one thing I really don't like about adding the front spoiler is that it also adds some goofy ground effects to the sides. At least they made it a premium car so you can change the wheels, add the...

Steve, I suppose I'll live with it. I have for 20 years. So far I've been able to talk them out of doing a full knee replacement, but that's ultimately what it may come down to. I really don't know where we are going from here. I was hoping that the doctors would fix the knee, so we could move...

Thanks for all the well wishes. I just got back home and feel ok, a little pain but doing ok. The Doc got in there and decided that I'm bone on bone and he can't do anything for it. Back to square one. I'm off work for a week, and the wife is making sure I stay of it as much as possible. What a...

Thanks Steve. I wont have pics till I go get 'em. I have pics of the original motor I was getting on my phone. I'll post pics as I get them. I was looking at summit's website and they have a 503 stroker kit that I'm drooling over. I figure I might be able to sell the short block and I'll have...

I received my new NPD catalog in the mail. I also made a deal to buy 2 460 motors. I get to go pick up the motors in a couple of weeks.:D

Ok, check this out. I was talking to a guy the had advertised a 460 on craigslist. After talking to him, he mentioned that he had a second 460. The machine work is done on #2, crank turned -10, block is 30 over, maybe 60, he can't quite remember. It's sitting in the bag it came from the machine...

Thanks for the extra info Droptop. Since I'm going to put new quarter skins on it anyway, I could just use 71/72 skins and rear bumper with brackets, yes? The car has what could be a 71 style bumper on it now...it doesn't quite line up with the quarters, and I know it has been replaced by the...

Thanks Steve. I don't think I want to create more work for myself. The car is a 73, and I think she will stay a 73. I was thinking of 71 type stripes but the 73 style is really starting to grow on me. I think the Grabber Lime with black interior and stripes is going to be the way to go. Chris

Don, you have a very good eye sir. I went over to the car again, it DOES indeed have 15in wheels. The trim rings are pretty rough but they are all there along with the caps. Chris

Hello again. Ok, now that I've bothered everyone about the 429/460, I have a few new questions. 1. What is the difference between 71/72 and 73 front fenders? Can I put a 71 bumper and grill setup in my 73? 2. What about rear bumpers? I figure I'll need 71 bumper brackets front and rear...

Well, shoot. Now it looks like I need to scrape together the 300 bucks and borrow Mom's pickup to make a trip. Rats. Of course, I DO like the sound of "429 RAM AIR" better then...."it's a 302" :s Chris

Thanks for the info. That was about all I could find on my own as well. The intake is a 4bbl, it had steel valve covers (by the picture). From what I can figure, the DOVE-A is one of the best blocks to start with and the DOVE-C's are pretty good heads. That's as far as I can go. I'm hoping to...

Hello all. I'm thinking of buying a 429/460 and need help decoding some numbers. The intake says DOVE-9425-BF4-0823 The heads are DOVE-C DIFF 003 The block has DOVE-A He said he couldn't find any numbers on the crank. It's apart at the moment and he doesn't want much ($300) but it's a long...
