  1. I'm in Seattle, Wa. I'll sell the whole setup with the new 31 spline axles for $1900. You'll save $600 over what everything cost me.
  2. I'm going to convert my 70 Mach 1 rear suspension to an 03/04 cobra IRS so I am selling my 9" rear end. It has a brand new, never been used 31 spline Strange center section with 3.25 gears and a tru track differential. It also has a brand new rear disk brake kit on it and new 31 spline axles. I can sell it all together, separately or trade for a 03/04 cobra IRS, let me know if you are interested.
  3. Not sure the mileage on everything that was listed without a mileage given, it was on the car when I bought it, but everything is in excellent working condition, car was very well taken care of and always garaged.
  4. I'm in the process of changing the front suspension to the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame and rear to TCP coil overs and no longer need the front suspension, brakes, steering and rear suspension from my 70 Mach 1 Mustang. Here is what I have: Front suspension Sway bar Strut Rods Upper Control Arms Lower Control Arms 620 coil springs - ~ 1000 miles on them $50 KYB shocks Roller Spring Perchs ~ 1000 miles on them $100 Front power disk brakes Spindles - Sold Calipers and pads Rotors Power steering Flaming River steering gearbox - Sold Everything else that's part of the power steering minus pump - $250 Rear suspension 4.5 leaf reverse eye leaf springs - less than 100 miles on them - $125 KYB shocks Might have sway bar, have to double check
  5. I only care about street drivability. I want a comfortable ride that can handle well. I want something comparable to a modern sports car. Not a 90's sports car, but a new sports car. I don't want to end up spending all the money on a TCI type suspension and not be satisfied when I could have spend a couple grand more on something like the Roadster Shop suspension. I also don't want to spend an extra two grand on the Roadster Shop suspension if I won't even notice a difference between it and a TCI type suspension.
  6. You have me seriously looking into that Roadster Shop Suspension. After Pricing everything out, the Roadster Shop setup would cost me about 2k more than the Rod & Custom, but there is probably 2k worth of performance upgrades between the two. The Detroit Speed also looks really nice, but it would cost about another 2k over the roadster shop suspension and I don't know if there is 2k worth of upgrades over the Roadster Shop.
  7. It doesn't look like that suspension would work with a Mod motor. I need to either remove or notch the shock towers.
  8. I've narrowed down my choices to AJE or R&C for my coyote conversion. The goal is a comfortable daily driver that will have 400-600rwhp. I want it to handle like a new mustang on the street, I won't be taking it to the track. Which setup do you guys think I should go with and why?
  9. Car is at my painters, I'll send more when I get it back
  10. The Detroit Speed setup looks really nice, but for $6500 and you don't even get brakes, engine mounts, steering coupler, fender panels or adjustable shocks!!! The Rod and Custom with 12" Wilwood 4 piston calipers and everything listed above is only around $3500. By the time you put all that on the Detroit Speed your looking at around $8500. Is it really worth the extra 5 grand?? Are you going to feel a $5000 difference for a car that is a daily driver street car?
  11. I would definitely use an efi setup, I want to get everything tuned in and forget about it. I don't want to keep messing with things even if it is only once every few years. I have never heard of anyone getting 25mpg with a carbed 351w. Not saying it isn't possible, but I have never heard of it being done.
  12. I know I can achieve the goals with a pushrod V8, but wouldn't the technology of the new coyote motor be even better in a daily driver?
  13. Those suspensions look nice, but are twice the price of something like the Rod and Custom. For a car that will be a daily driver street driven car, will I really notice the difference between the two or is the difference only seen on the track?
  14. This is going to be a daily driver car so I'm not just going for max power, the coyote will give me the power I'm looking for and I can always throw on a supercharger or turbo if I want a little more. I am looking for gas mileage, reliability and drivability.
  15. Thinking about doing the coyote motor swap in my 70 mach 1. If you have done this swap, would you do it again, why or why not?
  16. I'm debating putting a coyote motor in my 70 mustang. I already put a 2012 mustang dash in it and was thinking about doing the motor too. The car is going to be a daily driver so I want it to be able to handle like a newer mustang. I'm not going to autocross it or anything like that, I just want it to handle like the modern muscle cars. I know if I do the mod motor I am going to have to notch or remove the shock towers. What suspension setup will allow me to reach the goals of a modern mustangs handling ability? The setups I've been looking into so far are: Rod and Custom Detroit Speed Roadster Shop Chris Alstons Chassisworks Gateway performance suspension RRS AJE Fatman Or any other suspension not mentioned here.
  17. I'm looking for a set of 69 mustang quarter panel scoops and brackets, I don't need the whole quarter panels, just the scoops and brackets. If you have them let me know how much you want for them, thanks
  18. I live in Washington, but the brackets cut out shouldn't be much to ship, how much do you want for them?
