I own a 71 Mach 1, with a 9" rear end, FMX tranny, and a 351C engine. I want to begin restoring this car and need to make a major decision and am looking for some expert advice.
This car would be used as a weekend cruiser and maybe an occasional trip to the track. Looking at getting bewteen 350 - 400 RWHP
Should I
A) Rebuild the 351 and FMX transmission.
B) Replace the 351C and FMX with some other engine and transmission package? And what would that package be? Would there need to be a lot of modification/fabrication?
I do not plan on doing these myself and would need to have a shop do them for me. Can someone please help me?
