Mach 1 uses the Gt350 air to oil cooler. Issue with these is they get easily damaged due to location. Best route is to have ford service department pull a full repair history like others have suggested. I would pay attention to how many miles since repairs to cooler. If recent then I would...
Rear tow hook because we track the car. Didn't like many of the available options so made my own. It a 1/4" plate that sandwiches between the bumper beam and the body and has a bracket that runs forward to another body attachment to help with the pull loads. Hook is removable if desired...
Couple more updates...
Installed the S650 Strake air deflectors. There was discussion on how to make them work with the Mach1 belly pan. I simply trimmed the belly pan a bit and put the strake over top. It then shares a fastener and then gets 3 new holes and fasteners on the subframe. I...

Looks like a great solution.
I kinda had the same dilemma, bought the FP hook and didn’t warm up to losing the back up light. I then bought a universal flat hook with the intention of mounting just like you did having it poke through in the same manner but was afraid it’d look like a red...
Absolutely....
Clutch Reservoir - Dorman CM350070
The Ranger remote reservoir can only be purchased as an assembly with the slave cylinder that I was able to find. It was only $40 and the included hose comes in handy as a replacement to the plastic hose on our cars. The GM 92065790 GTO reservoir...
Thanks, appreciate the kind words. Warranty is for a production defect, running it out of oil because the cooler got knocked off isn't a production defect. I would never expect Ford to cover the costs of someone else's oopsie. Plus Ford system can see that its a rebuilt title and that in...
But wait…. there’s more!

Yes, good eye! That is Tom Barnes, some of you might recognize him as the Mustang Vehicle Engineering Manager before he retired. Super nice guy, always a pleasure to interact with.
Thanks, appreciate the kind words. Here’s a short clip I captured of Max driving, he’s 17 and first weekend on track with an instructor friend. The GT500 exhaust doesn’t sound too bad.
The other velocity blue HP was in front of him by about the same distance on the previous lap. He...
Put some break in miles on it through the summer and then hit an HPDE at Gingerman raceway in Southhaven Mi last fall. Car ran fantastic, very impressed with the Mach1 HP capability! This was Max’s first event as a driver, he’s been going with me for years with our 82 GT. Not sure what...
Way overdue for update, kinda forgot about this thread. Engine is together and back in the car. Has been since about this time last year. Son Max helping out.
GT500 oil pan and GT350 cartridge oil filter were nice adds. Oil pan does drive some plumbing changes to the trans cooler lines...
Made a pair of full length jacking rails to work with my FP trailer tie down brackets. I prefer to put my jack stands as far apart a possible so wanted something that went further rearward than what’s available. Will get them powder coated next week and order plastic end caps and plugs for...
