He was also probably running a modified PowerGluide transmission that has only two gears. I've seen alot of people run these with really low gears.93 teal terror said:i met a guy at the track once with a pinto that had 5.xx gears in it. it ran 10s, but damn 6.17s???

mdvaldosta said:The auto Mach1's only rev to 5800 rpm, things like having a cast crank in it instead of a forged etc. lowers the rev limiter - I assume the camshaft is different as well, but no sure about that one. So, umm yea its not the same as the cobra motor - although it is a 4v

bdcardinal said:not even the top fuelers use that much gear. if i remember correctly they use like 2.73s or something like that.

CatmanJJ said:It's also aluminum block and not iron like the Cobras right guys?
HIGDON said:Autos cut off at 5800, manuals stop at 6800.
CatmanJJ said:What's the point? Why get a Mach 1 and eventually put a cobra motor in it?
Hey I'm gettin a V6 stang and eventually putting in a GT motor.
GinoGT said:Why would it rev even lower than a GT?
It's the same engine, just different cranks. The limiter is probably at 6050, same as a GT.
The Mach 1 engine is the Cobra engine. The only differences are the cast crank for the autos and some different cam profiles (truck exhaust cam I believe).
really?cronin49 said:Correct to a point. It is the old Cobra engine, not the one in the supercharged Cobras. Get your facts straight and stop posting false info! And as far as gear ratios go, for all you nimrods out there that where arguing about it, yes automatic trannied GT'S have 3.55 gears in them, not 3.27. It has been like that since 1996.
