I figured I would edit this for the current change in direction.
So, I initially picked up this Mach 1 project for a drag car. After being honest with myself about what would need to be done to the car to achieve my initial goal, that goal was changed. Or the direction of the project. The new goal is to bring the car back to it’s former glory and then some.
The car is Torch Red, 82k miles, clean title.
The car is supposed to have a built engine by way of Eagle Stroker Kit with DSS -15cc pistons, ported heads, cams, BBK TB, K&N intake pipe. Exhaust is BBK LTs, H Pipe, Flowmaster catback. The 3650 is supposed to be rebuilt with Hurst Shifter and a Centerforce clutch. Rear is supposed to be built with 3.73s. Suspension is Viking Coilovers in the rear, QA1 K, A Arms, and Coilovers in the front. There is a dyno sheet which shows the car making 330hp and 340lb/ft.
There is a leak at the oil filter adapter and power steering pump. There were codes for LT fuel trims being rich and evap leak. The TB coupler and clamps were trashed. Paint is trash and the interior is weather beaten. Also, has 95 Cobra R Reps on it. The car has the 04 emblems on it; no clue why.
I bought this because I found myself going overboard on my GT convertible which was initially supposed to be built to make 400hp and be fun to take the wife and daughter out to eat, local trips, cruises, and such.
This Mach 1 will allow me to ease up a bit on the GT and make it more appealing for my wife and daughter to ride in while I focus on the Mach 1 being faster.
The new plan is best described as a Restonod project. Small interior upgrades, body mods but nothing too crazy, suspension, trans, and boost.
Hope you all enjoy this.
