Hello from SW Pennsylvania

[Must69ang]

Hi everyone,

I've owned a 69 Mach I since 1997 and an 82 GT since 1984. At the moment the 351W is being stroked to a 410 with roller cam and rockers. FMX tranny being rebuilt and going with a posi rear end.

I was considering replacing the disconnected heater core, but might leave that project until next year.

Here's a picture from the Moon car cruise, one of SW PA's largest each fall in Moon Township, near the Pittsburgh airport.

Welcome Huck,

The Mach 1 looks great.

Has the 82 been a daily driver?

Yes, for a number of years it was my primary car - from 1984 until I bought a Bronco in 1990. After that it never saw snow, since Fox bodies with a 5.0 are pretty horrible in the snow/ice. Since then I've always had a 4x4 of some type or another. Just put 4 barrel on the 82 last year - what an amazing difference. It's had headers since I bought it and was apparently breathing through a straw all these years. I think of it as my street-worthy, 4 speed go-cart.

Here's a pic when I had borrowed, stock wheels on it in order to get a classic plate. Normally it has Weldwire TruSpoke wheels. It's still running strong with well over 100K miles on the original engine.
