My other option is to fix the Mach and make it as bullet proof as possible. I’d be adding wider rear rims and tires, new rack and pinion, new plugs and COPs, new coil covers, headgaskets, lowering springs, LED conversion, FRPP trac lok, moser axles, FRPP MAFS, custom valvebody or JMOD, a torque converter, new shaker gasket if I can find one, and a custom dyno tune. I won’t be installing any of this myself so I’m expecting to pay $5000+ for all this. Much cheaper then buying a new car and it would clear up all the current issues I’ve had and still have. However it won’t be nearly as fast as some of the new cars I’m considering. What do you guys think?
Loudmouth 1's and 4.10's already on the Mach...the choice is clear, keep it!
