New to this site and I just finished a resto mod of my 73 Mach 1. Still doing tweaks and mods already to improve it some more so it will probably always be a work in progress.
My thought during the build was to keep it looking close to what it looked like when it was new but to also bring it up to todays technology. Due to this being the last year of the 1st gen Mustangs and emissions, performance was pretty much gone by then. Here is some of the changes that I made:
351C
10.5 : 1 CR
closed chamber 62cc heads, 2.19 I & 1.71 E
Harland Sharpe roller rockers and guide plates
Eagle forged rods
Wiseco forged flat top pistons
Herbert 290* duration cam.
Blue Thunder Manifold Intake
Blue Thunder Valve covers
MSD EFI set up to control ignition timing.
MSD dizzy
MSD ignition box
Serpentine belt system
1 wire 140A alternator
C6 tranny with 2800 stall
Gear Vendor OD
3.89 Tru Trac 9in rear with Wilwood Disks
** currently adding B&M Hi-Tek oil cooler for tranny
Hooker Super Comp headers
Pypes Exhaust with 3" tips
Attaching a few before/after pics, if you have any questions let me know.
