    Cleveland gurus in here!------->

    Pick up a copy of the Engine Builder's Handbook. You'll find a lot of good information to get you started. The 351C is not the easiest build to do, but if you get it right, its a torque monster and 400 rwhp N/A is a piece of cake.

    Turn a 65 Coupe into a Fastback?

    Way too much work and money. Even if you get the sheet metal work done, you'll need all the fastback interior stuff... which will cost a fortune. The deal breaker for me is that it will never be worth what a real fastback will be, and probably not even as much as a well done coupe. Maybe if...

    Lets talk mufflers....

    I recommend the Flowmaster Delta-Flow 50's. Great sound!

    Buying at or below invoice

    If its being built the 25th of Oct, you'll never get by the 1st week of Nov, especially will the mass transport of dealer stock that is taking place and is behind schedule. I'm sure its well worth the wait, though.

    New Electric fan :) low voltage :(

    Use a relay and thermostatic switch, connected to the battery and be done with it. When you park the fan will continue to run for a few minutes to cool the engine... Almost everyone forgets to flip a toggle switch, from time to time, which would be a disaster. The ignition switch on early...

    2004 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 CONVERTIBLE <<MY PROJECT CAR>>

    I think you need to abandon this whole idea. A. With a $15k budget, you can't get all the Mach parts you need. B. If you trade for a Mach, you can't get it converted to a vert on the $$$ you have. C. Either way, what you end up will not be a Mach. A well done clone, at best... and...

    Supercharger Install Length

    $900 with a tune is pretty reasonable, cheap in fact. I would guess a shop should charge around $650 for an install only... 3 days is also reasonable. Remember that most shops aren't just sitting around waiting for your car, they have other cars to work on. Most of the time, they will prep...

    Mach 1 Auto Machs - what kind of times are you seeing ?

    My best before the supercharger was 13.4. Hopefully, I'll be much quicker with the addition of the Procharger...if I can just get it to hookup.

    Mach 1 89 octane gas make mach1 run better?

    I'd recommend that you spend the extra couple of bucks to use the 93 octane. Any perceived improved performance is merely an illusion on your part. Running 89 over an extended period will have detrimental effects on the engine, over time.

    Mach 1 Mach 1 or an 04 cobra

    The styling of the Mach is just incredible and the Cobra is, IMO, bland at best. I bought the Mach and supercharged it. The best of both worlds and cheaper than the Cobra.

    Flaming River Steering Box

    Your steering will be fine. That's the same setup I use and I'm pretty happy with the steering ratio.

    Weather stripping?

    I'd let an auto glass shop remove the front and rear glass before the body work, so the window channels can be repaired, if necessary. The body shop can tape and paper the openings and you'll know that ALL the required body and paint was done. Then just take the car over to the glass shop and...

    RADIATORS... HELP!!

    Just save some money and get a 3-row, copper radiator. You can order a direct replacement from Mustangs unlimited or other Mustang Parts vendor. The 4-row doesn't cool any better and just makes it more difficult to fit the fan & shrouds back on.... I've been all over this issue...trust me on this.

    Alternator Upgrade ?

    Unless you are concerned with concourse correctness, I recommend the one-wire alternators. I have alot of electronics and opted for the chrome Powermaster 140 amp alternator. You can just unplug the original voltage regulator and remove it, if you wish. You just do away with the alternator...

    C4 questions (BM shifter kit and AOD)

    You should take a look at your intermediate servo...actually the cover and see what letter. A letter "H" will give you a firmer shift, and you can also order a new servo kit from TCI or other transmission houses, that will make it firmer. Many Mustangs come with the "A" servo, which is good for...

    Removing Seats

    To add to Worth's comment... You'll need a 1/2" deep well socket.

    Opening the hood like...ummm...a vette?

    Nobody likes a wisea$$... OFF TOPIC: Ferf... I can't believe you can't find any good looking women! Granted, I was there before the Berlin wall fell, but I would have sworn that they used that wall to keep ugly chicks out of the city. In 4 1/2 years I never saw an ugly girl and met what...

    AC upgrade questions

    You should be able to find a Sanden in just about any junkyard for a sweet price. Manufactures have been using them for years. I have the SD508 in my '66 and it works great. Just be sure to let a qualified A/C person do the swap so they can properly discharge the R-12, and do the...

    Redline for 289 V8?

    You're not getting anything for the extra abuse... shifting at 5500 is about where I would be, with what you have.

    Mach 1 Mach 1 - Where are the rear Mach 460 speakers

    There should be two covers on the rear deck (package tray). You can just pull them right off, but the speakers are mounted below and are hidden by the fabric. I think they are actually mounted to the amp deck.
