    How do I make my hoodscoop functional??

    The car is a 1970 fastback. not a mach or boss, just a fastback. The engine is out of a '69 mach 1. It's a 351W soon to have new heads and probably a taller intake topped by an edelbrock carb for now. The hood scoop is a mach 1 style.

    How do I make my hoodscoop functional??

    Read some of my other threads and you'll see that I'm considering an engine upgrade by way of new aluminum heads and intake. I wonder, if I make my mach 1 style hood scoop funcitonal, will that give me an extra inch or so. If so, how do I do it??!!

    I just found my june issue of mustangs & fords and read the article on the AFR head swap on the stock 351W. 140 horsepower just from a head swap?? WOW! If I put some of those on and add a new aluminum intake along with a fairly aggessive cam, and some exhaust (spintech, possibly?) I might be...

    Don't worry, no neon lights or exhaust that sounds like a pack of angry squirrels. No outrageous spoiler, and definitely no gold spoke wheels or chrome spinners. No guarantee on the bass, tho. No worries, the speakers will be nicely concealed in my very spacious trunk. Hey! I might even...

    I just finished checking out the specs for the Victor Jr. heads. I must admit that of all people, I am an amateur when it comes to engine work. On the other hand, I think I could learn how to drive a 450-500HP pony for one mean street machine. Since I am so naive, I can only count on you guys...

    Restoration. . . "old school", or "newfangled"??

    Here are some ideas I'm working on for the motor. How would it be to add a Victor Jr. Intake and heads, a cam with about .540 lift, a BG Demon 830 carb., and a stroke to 393 or 408? I'm not sure the intake will fit tho, It'll be a tight squeeze. Any input on this combo, for starters??

    I agree COMPLETELY, especially with the ideas of the tt 2's. I'm still in college, and my dad is helpig me with the project. He has offered to buy me the wheels for my car as a gift, but he prefers the stock look of the 15 inch magnum 500's, while I tend to lean toward some 16 inch TT 2's. He...

    Cool shift knob

    See the pictures above. If anyone can restore mine to look like that, give me your adress and I'll ship it to you with $20 for your trouble. OR if you have any advice on how a novice like me could make it look half that good, feel free to chime in, because there's no way I could make it any...

    just fyi. . . when I got the car, it was grabber blue and since then all I have done to the outside is add a black rear spoiler and black front spoiler as well as a mach 1 hood scoop (also black and smaller than the boss scoops). Those three accents made all the difference in the world. there...

    speaker placement it classic stang

    speaker placement in classic stang I am getting ready to put a stereo in my '70 fastback. I was planning on putting some 12 inch subs in the trunk because the only thing seperating the trunk from the rest of the car is a plastic flap that can be unlatched and flipped up so you can get to the...

    Cool shift knob

    it'd be pretty tough to get an old knob up to new standards. They have the look of brushed aluminum, with glossy black paint in the H-pattern while the numbers and "hurst" are raised and not painted black. Also, there are just too many knicks and scratches on any of the used ones. Maybe I'll...

    Why fellow fastback People so frumpy?

    hey mustang 70, I have a 70 with a windsor also. I was wondering what kind of power you make with that setup on the engine? also, Jon,move on. The guy probably was just borrowing the mustang from his buddy because his camaro broke down or something. We all know fastbacks are superior to all...

    I've looked at Newstalgia, and it's a good company, but too much $$$. I found some magnum 15's on dallas mustang, texas mustang, and year one. you can get a set of four 15x7 or 15x8 wheels, center caps, and lug nuts for $620 to $690. The best part is the free shipping on orders over $300 for...

    Cool shift knob

    has anyone seen a t-handle shift knob with the H-pattern in summit? I can't find it anywhere. (see jesserose's post above). Is he talking about the t-handle, or the white knob with the pattern, because I've seen those, just not the kind I want.

    Restoration. . . "old school", or "newfangled"??

    I am having a dilemma with the wheels I want. I think some TT 2's would look cool, but not right for a sleeper. I think my best bet would be with some new Magnum 500's in a slightly larger size than the original 14's that are on right now. I can find 15 inchers, as well as 17 and 18 inch, but...

    I like the way you think, nickel. how do those power windows work with the crank, i am confused. (sounds cool though). I think I may have mislead some of you, though. I am still in college so my budget is, uh, minimal. I have only about 3 grand to spend this summer, so things like the $250...

    I just remembered this suggestion from my electronically genius roommate. Since my cigarette lighter is currently broken anyway, how cool would it be to hook up a small nitrous kit to that push button and modify it to say "Light'er Up!" Is that bad@$$, or a little too "honda"?
