After a brief hietus I bought another 73 mach 1. We're doing the paperwork today and it should be here in a 3-4 days. I don't plan on going as crazy with this one as the last one, but we are going to do a couple things

It's a 73 with a 71 M code 351c. We're going to dump the c6 for a c4, put an aggressive cam in, and swap the gears from a 390 to 355. After that I'll leave it alone, until we save up for a 6 speed swap.

I'm going to avoid making the same mistakes as the last one, and this one will be a great one to start with. It's a turnkey car now, so I'll be able to enjoy it on the streets too

Welcome Back!

Glad to see you couldn't stay away And another big Stang as well.

Did your Mach come "factory" with the C6 or was that added later? My (inherited) '73 XR-7 (also an M-code) came with an FMX (as did my '73 Gran Torino many years ago)

Factory is FMX. We swapped to a c6 when the FMX died an untimely death. Then we swapped to C4 later down the road. I found a good complete C4 for 300$ locally.

So the first move will be to unload the car off the trailer, and swap the trans I can't wait.
