    Been a while since I checked in...

    Whats up everyone. Its been quite a while since I checked in here in 4.6 talk. I took a break from forums for a bit, but now I'm back... What's new? I have some news that might shock a few members here, but after 7 years of driving modular Mustangs, I parted ways with my baby, my 2003 Mach 1...

    ~New additions to The Mach!!!~

    Just got the Mach back from paint yesterday. Unfortunately I got rear ended about a month ago, so it needed a new rear bumper & some repair to the decklid, but while it was in the shop I added a few other exterior details. I had Cooks Collision in Elk Grove, California do the paint & bodywork, &...

    So I finally got the Mach out to the track tonight for the 1st time since I have had my mods & had the heads rebuilt... Here are the results... Not bad for a noob I guess LOL... I am pretty pleased with the results for my 1st time out. I am a little disappointed with the trap speed, but...

    Got the Mach tuned today...

    So as you guys know, I just got my Mach back from having the top end rebuilt a few weeks back. Since I was unsure of the quality of my old tune from a different shop, I decided it was a good idea to have Shaun @ AED (Advanced Engine Development) retune the car. I wasn't looking for peak numbers...

    Got my baby back!!! Time 4 new pics...

    Got my baby back on friday after 2 LONG months of not having her in my possession. I celebrated by taking a few new pics... So if you didn't see my previous threads, the Mach had compression issues, which ended up being burnt exhaust valves, so I had both heads...

    The Mach 1 is disassembled!!!!

    As some of you know, I had a major vibration issue with my Mach 1 a while back. Well, it ended up having low compression in 3 cylinders on the driver side which all had burnt exhaust valves. Luckily, I had a warranty on the car & ended up getting most of the cost covered, but I figured since the...

    Anyone have access to Alldata? Need help PLEASE!!!!

    Like the title says, I need someone that has access to all data. I am in the middle of a warranty repair, & the warranty company is trying to screw me on the amount of labor hours... In the mitchell repair book, it states that the repair takes 14.4 hours, but the warranty company is stating that...

    400+ mile road trip... Have a few questions.

    I might be taking a 400+ mile road trip in the Fox down to Southern California. I know 5.0's are not known for having the greatest gas mileage, & H/C/I, 14 degrees timing, 24's, 255 lph pump, & gears don't help much. My speedo is currently off because I still need the correct speedo gear, but...

    My 1st 12 second pass!!!

    Already posted this in 5.0 talk, but I want to share it with my 4.6 brethren too... My buddies finally convinced me to take the notch out to the track & I am very pleased with the results. My best pass was.... 12.97 @110.5mph with a crappy 1.93 60ft. This was only my 2nd time...

    Had a good night at the track in the Notch!!!

    My buddies finally convinced me to take the notch out to the track & I am very pleased with the results. My best pass was.... 12.97 @110.5mph with a crappy 1.93 60ft. This was only my 2nd time ever running any of my cars at the track, & only my 1st time running a car on full slicks, but I...

    Edelbrock Performer RPM 2.02/1.60 valve heads, versus AFR 185 heads. On an N/A 10.5:1 compression 347 stroker, what would be the power difference stock for stock? What makes either head better, & why? All personal opinions aside please, just want concrete facts & specs... I searched, but...

    Winter pics of the 91...

    Since it was getting ready to rain for a couple of weeks straight, I figured I would take the Notch out for a quick spin. I also removed the lower front iso's last week ,& installed MM cc plates, so I needed pics of the new stance. Not exactly winter compared to some of you other people that get...

    4.10's in FTMFW!!!!

    A buddy of mine has a full bolt on & cammed 01 Bullitt with 4.10 gears. Since he likes doing alot of high speed runs (in mexico;)), I guess the 4.10's didn't have enough top end for him & he would run out of gear too quick. He asked me if I would be interested in swapping my stock 3.55 rear end...

    IRS vs. SRA????

    So I have been getting tired of the super stiff, rough ride quality of my Mach 1 lately. I have a full MM suspension including the k member, coilovers, panhard bar etc... I also have a torque arm which I planned on installing eventually, but lately I have been toying around with the idea of...

    Torque box question?

    I am getting ready to install some lower control arms with spherical bushings on my 03. I know it is mandatory to weld up & reinforce the torque boxes on fox body's when installing solid control arms, but is it necessary on the 94-04 cars? I thought I read somehere about the 94-04 cars having...
