My Mach 1...
#1
            Well it's been a full year since I bought my Mach1. It ran rough but I didn't expect the total rebuild it required. Friday I went cruising for the first time. It is a head turner. They bodies not perfect but rust free and the paints OK for now. Attached are some pics of the engine.
thanks for looking.

I finally posted the photos I promised. As you can see I've got alot of detailing to do. Right now I'm breaking in the rebuilt engine, 300 miles so far and I haven't pushed her past 4000 r.p.m. But I must say it really starts to pull at 4000. By the way I'm running a 3.73 traction-loc.

Thanks for the input,
Keith

Glad to hear the car is turning some heads and probably getting a lot of thumbs up too. The secret to all the head turning is simply in the letters FORD. They rule...period!!!

Please try uploading your pictures again. It's like a 3 step process. Browse/Add Attachment/Insert
