19mach69 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2004 Hello everyone, I have a 1969 mach 1. It has a 351 and a 4spd toploader tranny. It ran pretty good for about two years. Now i have a 302 to run temporarily as I start a buildup on a 393. I haven't done too much to the car. I've had too much fun with it to start restoring it. Its a 20/20 car right now. I bought a different project to work on in the mean time. Great to see somewhere that sole supports my favorite era of mustangs. Pictures will have to come later.

mustang70 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2004 Guess I should introduce myself. My name is Bob and I'm a Mustang fanatic. Have been since about 14. I own a 1970 fastback that I've had for ten years. When I got it, it had a 302. I swapped that for a 351 and later a 460. I'm now going to do a 351 stroked to 427 and a manual tranny. Just haven't decided which one. I don't claim to be the most knowledgable person about Mustangs, but I think I can help a little. Eric(Trinitys) showed me the site. Looks like it should be fun.

Wow ten years and all those engine swaps. I like the 427 stroker idea. Maybe one day down the road i'll do something similiar, i look forward to hearing more about it when you get started. On this site it doesn't matter your knowledge on mustangs, we are all here to learn and get help or give help. I rely on Eric to do most of the technical help. I'll admit i do not have awhole lot of mustang knowledge. It's a learning process every single time i do something on the car. I'm just lucky to have people to help me who do know what they are doing heh heh. Oh and by the way Welcome to the Site!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang70 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2004 Gram is getting some stuff CNC'd at a local shop in Havasu. I think they've almost got the balljoint problem figured out. I'm still in the research(dreaming) phase of the 427. I'm slowly gathering parts for everything. Don't want to reveal everything before I have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang70 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 Right now the combo I'm thinking of is AFR 225 heads, a Comp roller cam speced out at .670/.704" lift and 270/284 duration, Edelbrock Pro Flo fuel injection, and Hedman long tubes. Although this might take a back seat right now since I got a new toy today. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang70 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 No, I didn't get a new welder. I got something a lot bigger. Tracy and I traded the Mazda in for a 98 GT. I was going to bring it by yesterday, but you weren't home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 Glad to join this site. My name is Max and I've been in the Mustang hobby much to long to count the years. I've strayed outside the Blue Oval but seem to wander back in the fold. I've even strayed 'inside the Blue Oval'...that is, going to the newer dohc Cobras, but my heart beats so much faster and livelier with the early stangs. I've been through a few...restoring, admiring, driving them and as of now, two keep me satisfied. They are my '69 meadowlark Mach I 351 M code with A/C, Auto, etc. My other is an early '67 GT 350, #0029. Both are in restored condition, but they're not prima donnas....I live in the country and both cars get driven....the Mach I is my sunny day driver. The '67 gets its guts wrenched out on the farm to market roads. Take care, Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aw4g63 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2004 Just found the site and just found a car.....I will have tons of questions along the way. My name is Tom, I'm 23, I live in Cleveland,Ohio. Things I have: 94 Ranger (Daily driver) 95 Mitsu Eclipse (Modified) and last night I picked up an amazing Mustang. I'm assuming it's a 1969 due to the headlights. The owner isn't sure and didn't car. It's a Florida car, up in Cleveland for 5 years at which time it was stored in a barn under a cover. Very solid, but it had an engine fire on it's journey up here. But personally I'd rather deal with engine fire repairs then Cleveland salt damage. :lol: So anyways, it's nice to join and I plan on being a Mustanger. While I don't have any older Mustang expiriance I do have plenty of fox body expiriance over the years. My friends latest project that we banged out over the winter was a 91 Nissan 240sx with a supercharged 5.0 in it. Stock tires and motor running 13.10s burning tires......Very fun street car.

Stangboy 14 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 I guess I'm the newest member here. I own a '69 fastback, it was my very first car, and I don't ever plan on selling it. It went through a lot of different combinations in the 17 years that I've owned it. Right now I'm trying to fix the "sins of my youth" and put an A/C system back in it. I tore out the original way back and threw it away when I decided to make it a "race car"! Oh well, a little older, a tiny bit wiser. Also building a 408W stroker for it, and have a Lentech AOD with a 'brake waiting to go in behind it. Still like to race, just with the A/C on now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
