Back in a Mach
After two years of missing my red Mach 1 I finally got another, this time a really clean azure blue just thought I’d say hello

Re: Back in a Mach
Sweet!! Welcome back! I recently just got back into an azure blue one after I sold my screaming yellow. What are your plans for her?

Thank you, for now just fixing some odds and ends on it. Then eventually continue the plan I had for my torch red Mach which was install a supercharger.

Re: Back in a Mach
Yeah that’s my plan as well. Do you know which route you’re going to go? I’m struggling between centri and positive displacement. Never had a centri so I don’t know what to expect and I had a KB 3.6 on my GT500 and loved it.

I’m planning on a procharger, I like the way it looks under the hood. The main difference with the two is the way the power comes in, the centri blower is a gradual increase in boost through the powerband and the roots style is pretty instant from what I’ve gathered. I’ve driven a few cobras but never a car with a centri blower so I’m on the same boat as you

Thank you, I did and regret it, I tried to buy it back but it didn’t work out. The cobra cams you sold me are still on there and running strong, this Mach is going to get a built engine, I already have the crank, block, rods and heads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Back in a Mach

Agreed, it cleaned right up but would have eventually took out the coil if it went on unaddressed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Back in a Mach
My first visit to the plugs was the same for the rear drivers side. I was worried too, but it hasn't had any issues since. Because the plugs I took out were OEM, I believe it was from bathtime fun over the years getting on the coil covers. I'm betting yours is the same. I gotta say, I've never owned a car with easier plugs to change lol.
