My 69 Mustang Mach 1

[mit5005]

Well here is the beast guys. Its a 69 Mach 1 Mustang that had a 351W in it. I took that out and put a 514 Ford crate motor with 630 hp.See for yourself.

Here is the motor by itself.

The hood is still on its way. The people i ordered it from are giving me trouble. Its a 6 inch cowl hood. I need the clearance because the intake manifold and air cleaner add height to the motor.

DAMNNNNNNN :!: :!: :!:

Sorry to say this, but your a crazy F***, that thing is awesome, damn, damn, damn :shock:


I've just fallen in love with that monster :shock: :shock: :shock:

[hemi_fan]

WOW, thats nice! I was thinking it was gunna be all rusted up, and in really bad condition since you're drag racing it. And I also thought u'd have a full tubed frame on it, and im kinda glad you dont (or it doesnt look like u do), cuz I hate it when people take perfectly nice muscle cars, and tear them up for pro-street cars. Yours is badass tho!

[VerderameJ]

Looks like a very sweet 69 you have there. I love the 69 Mach I best of all generations of that car, right down to the steering wheel. And the red with white markings looks very nice. I look forward to hearing what kind of track times you end up with on it. Very nice work.

very nice!, I should get my rustbucket on imagestation .com, I can make a clip of it running does image station let up put up a small clip?, or another site??

[novass]

Very nice! How long till its ready for some strip action?

[Kangaroo Boy]

HOLLY SHIT :shock: That thing is a real street Machine.

[Tomerville]

Wow! Crate motors are awsome value!...mmm, smells like burning rubber!

[SFDMALEX]

Is that a carburator I see?

[BADMIHAI]

Is that a carburator I see?



Not just any Carburator: a Holley :)


Awesome machine man! I love it!

[mit5005]

Well, i should be getting the hood in 2 weeks. Then i am gonna have it painted like the original hood so it looks good. And I am getting my 9" detroit locker this friday. I also just put new springs on the back because of the big tires so i should be goin to the track in 3 weeks probably. I cant wait to do my first run.

[VerderameJ]

Any idea how much power you will be getting out of that motor at the end of all the effort?

[mit5005]

Well the guys that I talk to at Ford say it is rated at 635 hp. But they also say that the motor could have more than that because every one is a little different. Next week I am goin to take it to the dyno, Ill try to get a video of it on here. If not, at least i can give the rwhp numbers.

[DR.GONZO]

oh man, please record the dyno! :D

[VerderameJ]

Yeah you never know what you are really getting until you do that Dyno. Cool..I look forward to seeing the specs

[mit5005]

Well guys, just to update on the car. I have decided not to dyno right now and I am going to go to the local 1/8th mile dragstrip and test the monster there instead. I will be going Wednesday night because that is test and tune day. And it probably won't be crowded at all. I am goin to have videos of it but I still got to get a video capture card. I will try to get them on here asap.

[VerderameJ]

SO how did the run go? Did she perform as expected?

[Zonda11]

Wicked car..can't wait to see your times/vids.

[DR.GONZO]

yea vid's would be great! what did she do? :D

[Porsche_Cayenne]

Usually I don't like american cars... but this is gorgeous :shock:

[mit5005]

I am taking it this wednesday for the first time. I will let you guys know times after it happens. It should be fun.

[mit5005]

OK guys. I just came back from the drag strip. The car was running like a champ. My father was actually the one driving it because we worked on it together and he also funded most of it. Well anyways, the best run in the 1/8th of a mile was 6.86 seconds at 101 mph. I would have to say that is pretty good for an NA car with mostly stock body. I road in it once and the feeling was unbelievable. I will get videos on here as soon as I can, I still have to buy the video card to capture my film. It should be running mid 10's in the quarter.

[novass]

Damn sounds like the Stang is gonna be a pretty sweet runner. Cant wait to see some vids of it.

[mit5005]

Here are some pics of the car behind my dad's F350.

[corvette97]

OMG!!! nice car, i love it!!!

[hemi_fan]

WOW! you wouldnt be interested in trading that mustang for a *newer* 1990 GT would you!?! Just think of all the fun bonding hours you and your father could spend getting it into the 9s! lol... i thought id try... :(

[novass]

You still havent gotten your hood yet? Looks like a sweet setup dude.

[mit5005]

Actually, we should be getting the hood tomorrow. And we also just bought an enclosed trailer for the stang. We didn't feel right towing it on that little POS. And if we want later, we can buy one of those little golf cart type things and fit it in with the car. More pics soon.

[mit5005]

Wow, I just got the hood today. What a nice surprise. What a huge cowl.

(Sorry, bad lighting)

[mit5005]

Here is the new trailer. A 24 footer. A great upgrade from the previous I think.

That's not a trailer, that's a mobilehome :D

[novass]

Damn dude, your setup is gettin crazy! I love it. That hood is gonna look sick on that beast and the trailer is really nice. Quit takin photos and go get some timeslips :D

[mit5005]

Well guys, my father just finished painting the hood. He did it by himself in the garage so it was obviously not perfect conditions for painting. I think he did a pretty good job for a former fence guy. See what you think.

Came out very nicely.

Your car is looking awesome :twisted:

[mit5005]

Well I got a video of it online now. It is from my digital camera so it is not that great but it is good enough. It is of the first time we raced it on the 1/8th mile. You can find it in the video and picture links section.

mit5005, I like the trailer and the car no question.. The 69 mustang is a dream car to me .. espacilly the GT500..
If you don't mind me asking ,how much did you get the big trailer for.And from which company.
Thanks.. and plz keep the pix coming can't wait to see the hood on the car. 0X 8)

[mit5005]

It is a 24 footer and it lists for around $5,400. We got it for $5,000 minus the trade in for the old one. And the brand is Pace American. Oh and here are some pics of the final (for now) product. I have to say I am really proud of this car.

SUPERCHARGER!
Does that have sequential shift?

[jon_s]

Now that is what I call American Muscle!

Hell Yeah! 8)

[mit5005]

SUPERCHARGER!
Does that have sequential shift?

No, it is a 3-speed auto but you have to select the gears yourself. The transmission was reworked to handle up to 1500 hp and it also has a reverse shift pattern, which means you pull the lever back to shift up which is the opposite of a conventional automatic in these cars.

[novass]

The car is lookin very nice! Your dad did a good job on the hood too. When do you plan on taking it to the 1/4 mile?

[mit5005]

We will probably take it whenever we want to go back to Bradenton, hopefully within a month. I can't wait to see what it does in the 1/4. I should be racing it myself soon also.

[mit5005]

Check out my first decent quality video of it on the track.
