    73 mach 1 build

    I started a thread in the talk section(http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/810808-73-mach-1-build-thread.html) to more or less talk of the work I had ahead of me. Here's the technical part of it. Forgive my welding, it's getting better :nonono:. I can set the heat and feed levels nicely now...

    E85 blend

    I wouldn't personally do it. If you decide to give it a shot post back with how it runs. I'm curious to see what would happen. :shrug:. I've heard nothing but complaints about higer levels ethanol with carburetors on stock tunes. e85 does smell pretty nice :D.

    E85 blend

    Ethanol has a different stoichiometric AFR than fuel, and different ratios of ethanol to gasoline require different tunes (as mentioned). A carbureter can be tuned a run a certain ratio. As mentioned, the ethanol will eat away at the fuel system, so if you want to run e85 you can build an e85...

    71-73 coupe to fastback?

    Hey man, I didn't forget about you.. I brought my camera today to take the pictures and forgot the memory card. I was able to take 1 picture but now I can't find the cord to connect it and get the picture off :(. I'll post it tonight if I can find the cord, but if not I'll take another tommorow...

    351c cam selection flat or roller? please look

    Another thing to keep in mind is that modern oils use less zinc and more detergents. Solid lifter cams like zinc, it acts as a lubricant in regions where metal to metal contact occur. You will either need a zinc additive ZDDPlus, ~ $13 each oil change or an oil that has higher levels of zinc...

    I was looking at a couple different aluminum heads and I don't have the money to get them (yet).. It should make more power than I'll want anyway lol. It sounds like your car should run pretty nice, and hopefully will look nice too! Good luck to you too!

    71-73 coupe to fastback?

    I'm sorry to hear about your father, but I always love seeing people do meaningful things. If I can get everything apart easily enough I'll snap some pictures on weds.. I think this is a pretty cool project, and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. If the pulled it off 36 years ago in...

I decided on megasquirt for fuel / ignition management and ordered the ecu, relay board, harnesses and...

    I finally got the cowl panel before, the spot weld drill method didn't work for me, so I used a chisel bit. I have alot of holes to fill and some grinding to do, but its out. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.. I'm going to start wire brushing and por-15ing the panel next time I get a...

    Was there ever a GT P51?

    I agree with everyone else.. restomod, not original... Too many modern touches that would devalue something that rare.

    1973 Mach 1 Rebuild

    Do you have any pictures? I haven't had to replace any body panels on my car, so I didn't go through the process of finding them (yet lol). As far as I know, 73 body panels are tough to come by. I google searched "73 mustang sheet metal" and there are actually quite a few vendors out there with...
