    351c vs 351w

    I Don't know much about the Windsor but I have a 351c that im putting 4v heads on and have only heard good things about the Cleveland engine and its power. The only down side I heard of is prices for aftermarket parts but that hasn't been too bad for me anyway, lots of good deals on E-Bay and...

    Got an engine lift/stand today....

    Got the engine stand and lift today to take the 351c out of the mach 1 and rebuild it. It seems to be not too bad as far as difficulty after reading the Haynes manual on rebuilding the engine. IM going to have the headwork on the 4v quench heads done by a shop and IM using a Summit rebuild kit...

    Put new springs on but.....

    I put my new coil springs on but the car seems to sit lower then I wanted it to. There 620 front springs stiffer but shorter then the others it had on it. I did not hook the shocks up yet will the shocks raise it any? I guess i might have to take the shocks back off and add a pad up top to...

    shift kit for an fmx????

    I want to get one for my FMX and install it when I pull the engine along with a 3k stall converter. Are those things easy to install for a beginner? DO they help much? My tranny's old but I seen Autozone has FMX's for 200 dollars after core charge, that might be the way to go if yours is old...

    Valve Springs

    I was going to replace mine and add a bigger cam until I decided to go with the 4bbl 351c heads so now im just doing it all before I install them. I was told you should ALWAYS replace the springs with a new cam. I heard the easiest way to do it is buy a tool that screws into your spark plug...

    advice from veterans?

    I dont' mean to hi-jack the thread but was wondering do you guys recomend using the top pad with the 620's? I bought a set from Sacramentomustang.com and it says use pad for stock height, no pad for 1in drop. I dont know how a 1in drop in front would look with a 73 mach 1 though. Thats cool you...

    4BBL quench heads came today.

    Well 1 came today at least, looks real clean, I know I will need a valve job, maybe resurfacing, anyone have any other suggestions for someone on a tight budget? I'll be using these with a Summit rebuild kit with the flat top pistons. Should I have port stuffers installed or polishing or...

    Thanks guys, I added coolant, it seems to get heat now, I still have to get the check engine light checked out, the front wheel hop when turning could be needing an alignment, i'll check that out. Thanks, Jim
