Mach ! Resurrection
So I recently purchased a Mach 1 roller with approx. 42xxx klms on the car, the car was with the previous owner since 2005....A turn of bad luck with a local speed shop left the car less a complete drive train....luckily the body and specific Mach stuff was all there....moving forward I have a complete drive train and suspension for the car...........so lets resurrect this bad boy!
I will update with pics as we go along...... need to upload them..lol First I started by cleaning out the engine bay of the dirt as it sat for almost two years...... before this the car was garage kept and as you can see it amazing condition! Here's the IRS that is going in the car.

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
So if any you have done the auto swap you"ll know that the floor is slightly different from the auto version, here's the additional trans tunnel that Ford installs as its need for the standard trans as it sits higher up.....drill the spot welds out and clean away the seem sealer and she come out, clean up the tunnel around the opening and used self edging primer to seal it up, gotta get the template made up for the auto and gonna weld her back in and paint Azura blue once in....here's what she looks like so far.

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
well started the temp plate for the floor for the auto shifter, I used a stainless steel plate and decided on using speed clip to secure it down, once the final shape was a nice tight over lay I used a paper temp plate from auto car to locate the hole for the auto shifter, test fit it first with the console and its a perfect match, remove the shift and seem sealed it, then placed the plate down and bolted in place, what ya see is the finished product.
only took me 4 hrs...lol

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
well waiting for the power distribution harness I purchased to arrive to complete the electrical, I decided to tackle the auto portion of the build, since I have a manual pcm harness I needed to intergrade the auto wires into the harness and into its pin locations into the factory connector at the pcm, I have a auto pcm just in case your wondering
here's a pic of the Mid pipe I made for this set up a few years back as The haeders I'm running are mid length and required a custom one, believe it or not that mid pipe is two Dodge ram tail pipes modified...lol Finally the car is off the hoist and I can finish off the wiring on ground level as all the underneath is complete. those wheels are temporary as I have a set of 18X9 Mach wheels coming for it, think I might just have the rear widened to 10.5 from weld craft, just wanna see the turn around time.. Here a quick back shot....

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
Custom midpipe looks good. I've always wondered that about certain manufacturers out there that sell 'mid length' headers. Always wondered if you had to buy the midpipe that THEY sell for it to work.

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
So I had purchased a Auto Mach CCRM Harness which ended up being a GT one, today I got the right one, thank god... I decided since Im waiting for the harness I put the interior back in...... I will update the harness pics, for now the new CCRM auto harness is in along with the engine auto harness and auto mach PCM..., since im running a 03 cobra distribution harness I have to move some wires around in the connectors, mainly the blue with orange tracer needs to get to the CCRM.. The Front seat is still out as I have new seat foam for the seat to install. Also mocked up the PNR tank in the trunk, that's all wired and ready to go.

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
well getting one step closer: needed to modify the distribution harness at the connectors on the passenger side that connect to the CCRM harness, since I used a Cobra distribution harness the power supply for the CCRM to FPDM( blue with orange tracer) is not in the 16 pin grey connector but is in the large round 4 pin connector on a cobra, Gt and Mach only use 3 of the 4, easy enough just added it, checked when done and we have fuel prime!
Next was to check for crank, since this was a stick car and now and auto needed to verify all is good, went to crank and had nothing, closer look and the safety switch was in the clutch switch, but auto doesn't look at that, it looks at trans range selector, also the manual ccrm harness at the grey connector has a loop from white/pink and blur with red, on an auto these are not looped, but are suppose to under the dash on the drivers side left, is a harness that runs up and you will see the same colour wires with a open connector if it's stick, but auto has the wires looped, here's what the connectors needs to look like . Now that I have prime and crank, car is ready to fire up, just need to finsh off the harness connection to the circ pump and i'm going to run that to the cobra relay on the passenger fire wall via the grey connector and make it look all factory....more pics when that done....

Re: Mach ! Resurrection
Your skills are impressive! This thing will be breaking hearts in no time.
Really like how you mounted the tank in the trunk. Very clean.
