- Leaf springs shacklesHello What is the max length shackles you can safely use in a 72? Bought new leafs but the ride height is not exactly what I wanted. Would like another 2” Thought maybe if I put taller shackles I will get the desired ride height
- Rear Sway BarI'm looking at adding a rear sway bar to my car and I'm wondering if anyone can comment on what the performance difference is (if any) in the shape of the bar. Are they shaped differently for clearance reasons for different models? See attached pics.
- Clutch Equalizer BarHey guys, doing a 3.03 toploader swap with wide ratio in my 73 vert. Original FMX took a crap and I had the toploader laying around. Eventually want to 4 spd swap before I hear the hate, but I’m a broke college student. Anyone have a clutch equalizer bar, or hear good things about the […]
- Our 71 MustangHello everyone. Rainy day here so it's a good time to start our build thread. To recap our introduction. Last September my son told me he was really interested in being a mechanic and possibly attending on of the high school auto tech programs in the county. Shortly after that he sent me a link […]
- Hooker headers - super comp to comp swapThe tri-power manifold required a swap to 4v heads and exhaust. I was running a 2v Edelbrock performer and some hooker super comp headers. The swap over was a few years back, I don't have any pictures. I had spent so much money on the manifold, the carbs, the heads and such that I 'jumped' […]
- What headers are people using?Shopping for headers. The application is a 72 with 351C, 4V heads, FMX automatic, PS and PB. The car is also fairly low (as seen in my avatar). My preference would be long tubes. I know the FPA headers seem to be the gold standard for fitment. But they will be over $2500 CDN to […]

- '72 Mach 1 grille center bracket neededHi gang: I am in need of a center grille support bracket for my late '72 Mach 1. My original was misplaced long ago during a freshening of the car and is long gone. It likely was lost in the mid 80's when I had a friend assist in straightening up the shop. I had […]
- First start after long storage?I need advice on "first start" for a vehicle that's been sitting unused in indoor storage for about 6 years. The engine is a stock 302-2v. The long block was overhauled, the vehicle was driven home from the shop (about 25 miles), and then just parked. I just rebuilt the carb and installed all fresh […]
- 1971 Fastback Trunk torsion springs source?Hi All: Hope someone can help me find a torsion spring for the trunk lid on my 1971 Mach 1. It does have a wing so I would love to find a pair of thicker springs but will settle for the thinner ones if that is all I can find. One of my springs just […]
- Replacing gasket on pop open gas capI have prior posts on gasket replacement for my 71 Mach 1 and thanks everyone for the help. I have found some neoprene rubber to make my own. The original thickness is between 1/16” and 1/8” . The best I can measure which makes it hard to find. The rubber I found is 1/8” hoping […]
- Is there difference for front drum spindles on V8 cars and 6 cylinder?I want to convert to drum spindles to hold a bigger brake conversion kit and found some spindles but I am not sure if there is a difference between the V8 drum spindles and the drum spindles from a 6 cylinder. Anyone know if they are the same part number?
- Oil pan replacement.Good afternoon fellow 71-73er's! This is just like deja vu all over again. I swear I already posted a thread on Saturday. Anyhow, pulled the trigger on a new pan, purchased it from Top Flight Automotive and it's listed as a "First Generation 1970-1973 Ford Mustang 351C oil pan - Dynacorn". First off, does anyone […]
