What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[skinnyb]

Getting ready for a Mustang rally next week. Wheels off, clean the barrels while they are off, and do a brake fluid flush. Plus a fresh oil change

Nice sb , I've got to do the same brake flush on the list , along with full length undercarriage detail in 4 to 6 weeks ,I'll reserve one of the lifts at our shop for 3 to 5 day to do the work . Last year I put the car on stands for a month and did laying on my back . Why I don't know when I could of taken to the shop . Also the Steeda ultra light jack rails came today .
Cars n Coffee this morning and I was to busy in the shop talking and forgot to take a few pictures. By the time I left ( one of the last ) only car to take a picture of was the Mach.

Replaced the M1 Air Filter Assembly with the Shelby GT500 Air Filter Assembly

I read a few posts about adding a cover to the air filter housing - ranging from a DIY plexiglass cover to a full carbon fiber cover. Also saw a few that integrated the GT500 air filter housing and cover. So, researched/compared the M1 air filter housing and seal ring (which is the same as the GT350) to the GT500 air filter housing and cover - part by part. Note that that the GT500 air filter cover will not fit the M1 air filter housing. As it turns out, you only need the GT500 air filter housing and cover, plus some weather stripping. Total cost for Ford parts = $221.01. Add $19.00 if you need to by the weather stripping.

This is a very simple job.

Step 1 - Order these 2 parts from Levittownfordparts.com

Air Filter Housing - GT500 (KR3Z-9A612-A) - $89.58
https://parts.levittownfordparts.com/oem-parts/ford-air-filter-housing-kr3z9a612a

Air Cleaner Cover - GT500 (KR3Z-9661-A) - $131.43
https://parts.levittownfordparts.com/oem-parts/ford-air-cleaner-cover-kr3z9661a

Order the 1” x 3/8” weather strip seal from Amazon - $18.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088WG2931?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Step 2 - Remove M1 engine air intake tube and air filter then remove the air filter housing sealing ring and air filter housing. Remove all the hardware and snorkel from the M1 air filter housing and install on GT500 air filter housing and cover. Then install the GT500 air filter housing.

Note that the foam rubber pad between the air filter housing and fender stays in place.

Attach the weather strip seal to the GT500 air filter housing as shown.

Step 3 - With a dermel tool, cut a MAF sensor notch in the GT500 cover in the same location as the M1 air filter housing sealing ring.

Attach the 1” x 3/8” weather strip seal to the GT500 cover and the air filter housing.

Step 4 - Reinstall the M1 engine air intake tube and air filter, secure the GT500 cover, connect vacuum hoses and MAF sensor.

ALL DONE!

While I was at it, I also removed the hood liner and then removed the heat extractor vent covers.

Then opened the hole in the liner on the left side and cut a new hole in the liner on the right side. Now the heat extractor vents are fully functional.

Before all of this, a few weeks ago, I installed the grill inserts for a direct feed to the air filter housing. Here’s a view looking out from the GT500 air filter housing.

A fully enclosed cold air intake system with a direct feed from the front grill and fully functional heat extraction vents. Why? Just an interesting, fun, low cost, project.

Well full on cleaned and dialed in and ready to ride next week. She still cleans up pretty good
Even polished out the exhaust tips with P21S soap and hit them with Dr Beasley's Metal Coat.

Nice job. I think you asked me about it. I would have done the step by step install but i was going in blind and cussing a lot. lol

Appreciate the write up. I’m doing the same with the GT500 intake this summer since I’m going to be cutting the hood for full heater extractors I got from @GTP.

Test with blue painters tape (yes it’s misaligned). Can’t decide if I like it or hate it, but I should’ve specified matte.

Tail pipes are often overlooked but I am obsessed with them looking clean. Good job

Ford Performance belongs on the door sill not the steering wheel.

(Pretty foot courtesy of the wife. She has the prettiest feet ever, and no, I don't have a foot fettish.)

Good thing you noticed, take the wheel / tire off and to you local tire shop to patch.

 

[Gen 6 Mach1]

Last night I cruised to our local Cruise in at Mixteca Mexican restaurant, the pictures don't do justice as it's hard to get a picture of the area . Car count was good 125 .

That sucks! Good advice tho

 

[Mach 307]

Planning on removing the carbon trap possibly. I’ve thrown the idea around before, but I get anxious about taking apart a car this expensive (even something as simple as the intake). Any tips?

it is easy but watch youtube videos so you don't break anything and once the trap is out put the insert back in so your computer is not off. My hand was tore up some but I think I did some of it wrong. lol
