    Belt problems with a 1970

    I already did the electric fan thing, I'll never go back to that again. A flex-a-lite mechanical fan is the only way to go in my opinion. I was thinking of a dual groove waterpump pulley, and the second grove is for the a/c, but I think it might line up with my alternator, but I guess I'll...

    Belt problems with a 1970

    So what did you ever end up doing with this? I just ran into this EXACT same problem today on my car when removing the power steering. I am going to call March in the morning, and if they don't have any answers I'm going to head down to my buddies shop and try a bunch of different water pump...

    351w cam question

    I recently did the roller conversion on my 351w. I went with Trick Flow heads 2.02/1.60. I used a comp cam, and its a roller conversion cam so the lobes are smaller, and I used the spider conversion (where you tap two holes into the center deck). It is amazing how fast the motor revs now, but...

    Any new rack and pinion choices ?

    I agree! I am currently removing the Power Steering from my Mach. I just received my new flaming river gear box and the billet u-joint is on its way to replace that cruddy rag-joint. I also just received my grab-a-trak PS delete adapter. I'm really excited about this, but also scared about...

    Mach 1 Anyone raced a C5?

    My C5 Story began with an old man I had to pester all up and down Woodlands Parkway to get him to put down his cigar. His wife was in the car w/T-tops off and thought he'd show me a thing or two! Ha! He wouldn't even give me a look at the next light. Sounds like there's a lot of H-towners...

    T5 Clutch Linkage

    Hey guys I'm still having trouble trying to fit my mechanical Z bar through my headers. The car is a 1970 mustang mach 1 with a 351w, T5 and hooker competition headers (6901). I need to know if anyone else has this setup and if so what kind of linkage you are using. I've been looking at a...

    Clutch Linkage

    Ok guys I'm having a little difficulty getting my clutch linkage back in. I just redid my 351w with the addition of Hooker Competition Headers (6901) and it looks as if it wants to fit, but I'm stumped. Is anyone running a manual with these headers in a '69 or '70?

    351w help

    Ok guys I'm just a moron, and this was my first time putting the motor back together. I didn't realize that the oil pump driveshaft had to go in from the bottom. So tomorrow I get to drain my oil and try to remove the pan and pump with the engine in the car.

    351w help

    Ok the drill is turning clockwise, is that the correct direction? And I just put 5 qts in so it should be good there. But the thing thats bugging me is the fact that I don't hear the drill coming under a load.

    ATI Procharger

    I hate to jack this thread, but I'm looking at supercharging my mach 1 in the next year or so. Here is the deal, I don't want to lose the shaker so I was thinking that removing the snorkel from the air cleaner and running the boost pipe through it to a carb bonnet inside of the air cleaner...

    Help with pushrods

    It is a comp cams retro-fit roller cam. Thanks for the info I believe the pushrods are much too short as when the valve is closed I cannot get the rocker tight enough to even touch the pushrod. Hmph.
