I've owned my 72 Mach since '79, unfortunately when I was young and dumb I sold the original 351C 2bl to buy a "fresh" 351C 2bl out of a 72 Torino. Aside from being young and dumb I did not have the cash/time/confidence to rebuild the original motor. Fast forward I have a little more (not much more) cash/time/confidence to put the car back together. After 30+ years of searching for a donor car I found a 72 Grande (build date 11/71, registered 6/72) in my area with all the stuff my car is/was missing, ie power disc brakes, factory A/C and an most importantly the original 351C 2bl (currently has a 4bl intake/carb on 2bl heads). My car has a build date of 4/72 and was origianlly registered 6/72, my question is are these two build dates close enough to be considerd matching numbers when I swap the parts from my donor car to mine? :huh:
Thanks for your help in this matter..... FYI I should have some fairly nice southwestern condition parts left over if you are in the Phoenix metro area.
And a big Thank You to all you veterans who may be reading! Happy Memorial Day!!
