- 1973 Q Code Mach 1. I am the second owner.
What started out as a new water pump has now turned into a new motor. How did we make that jump? Just look at the pictures below. The damage is old and we did not cause it. The bolt wouldn't tighten and we pulled the timing cover and we discovered this. Someone had "repaired" it a long time ago.
We could just make it work but while the motor still runs strong it does have 170k. This just moves up the rebuild a couple of years.
Except for the paint the remainder of the car is solid. It is my wife's daily driver and she won't part with it. I can't blame her.
The new motor is going to be warmed up a bit.
