1971 Mustang Mach 1 351 Cleveland Start

Cold start and run from the drivers seat of my 71 Mach 1 with a 351C. The car is amatuer road raced and street legal. Still have a few holes to add more guages.

not a fan of the ricer tac

It is a Stewart Warner memory tach. Nothing ricey about it. The dash is gone replaced by an aluminum panel form HRP. Original dash and wiring weighed about 80 lbs and being a track car it didn't need it nor would it fit with the cage installed. Blue knob is the brake bias.

how can u tell from 351 m to a 351 c

[kblackav8or]

The M is a lot bigger/taller and there are some block differences you can see on the outside. The M also shares a 429/460 bellhousing pattern. The 351C has the same one as a 302 or 351W. There are other cues I can't recall at the moment. The obvious ones would be to look at the casting number near the starter on the side of the block as well.

Nice car, my 73 year old grandfather has the same car with a gold and black paint scheme, stock gages pretty much fully restored. Badass car for sure.

@thantalas68 who cares. Enough about you

It idles fine once warmed up. Nothing stock to it anymore and the next motor probably won't idle below 1200. Just saving my pennies to finish the last pieces on 351X
