It took me a second to figure out we weren't SW anymore, but I'm here now.

Mister L · 12-21-2004, 11:46 AM

Ditto, Looks like the Central region...............cause Texas is so big!

My next outing with the Black Beast will most likely be in February. Fixin' to pull the motor for the winter project. I'll be glad when it's finished. Last outing was great. Happy Holidays to all the Oklahoma Shakers!!

Marty, Let me know if you need an extra hand sometime.

Bought some drive-on ramps today. Thinking I can back the car up the ramps and then start lifting the front. Get the front up high enough on the jack stands for the motor/trans to clear the front bumper. Might have to pull the chin spoiler for extra space but I think I can get it high enough to clear. I also bought some 2" casters and intend to build a mini-creeper/dolley for the motor/trans to sit on when lowered. Then roll it out from under the car. Pull the tranny/bellhousing/clutch and flywheel. Then the accessories and intake. Build a stand to support the motor in transit, drop it off at the shop on the 10th of Jan, get the valve covers powder coated and then sit and wait. Forged rods/pistons/ new bearings/ balanced/heads ported and new cams installed. Shop says 3-4 weeks to get it done. Now thinking I might need to go with some larger injectors. Need to do some more research! Once the motor is back I intend to get the accessories back on, new ported lower intake and all the associated wiring/hardware, install the headers and put it all in as an assembly. Still trying to decide on long tubes or midlengths. I need to get with Kerleyfries for the longtubes.

I sure hope I am NOT making a mistake here. I'm sure once it is together I will be very satisfied........but who knows!

Thanks again Keven for the offer and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and Kathy!

Merry Christmas to the Okla Shakers. Hope Santa is good to your Machs!

Marty, you going over to the blown side? Last I heard it was the upper redu with cams etc. Now it is the lower also? What gives? You moving up to play with the big boys like Kevin and Clint?

OKMach1 · 12-23-2004, 10:10 AM

Rob, it may be some disease contagious to the owners of black Mach 1's. One of the symptoms seems to be a disregard for warranty concerns combined with an overwhelming need for speed. Right now I just want my new shortblock to get here

It's been about 8 weeks since I ordered it. Doesn't look like I'll have my project completed in February as I leave to go overseas in just a few days. More and more I'm wishing I had gone the tried-and-true centrifugal route instead of twin-screw. Hopefully the end result will be worth the headaches.

Kevin

YES, I was just going to do the cams and valves, but that leads to "while I'm at it, I might as well............" So, I decided to go forged internals (pistons/rods and get it balanced) as insurance of knowing WHAT I have. My plans are still to stay N/A and I like those cams in Clints Mach. I have the head change kit and FR500 cam kit in the garage.

Besides, the suspension/driveline is already complete. Gears, Dif, Girdle, driveshaft, axles, springs, control arms, bumpsteer, c/c plates, headers/midpipe/ aircharger/upper intake/ are also complete. If I nail it, I don't want it to break. That's my insurance policy. My mileage is at 15,992.3 as it sits in the garage. I figured 16k miles is a good place to pull the motor. I'm sure I'm spending more money than necessary to get the hp/tq but I like the N/A route. And I agree, it must be the Black Mach owners with the exception of James in Tulsa who wants to mod the Mach's. And if James had it his way............I bet he would be modding too! In fact, he might be...............and we just don't know it!

Kevin I hope you get your shortblock before your next departure. I know how anxious you are to get it here.

.........and like Mustangdude, "Merry Christmas" and Happy Holidays to all the Mach owners out there!!

I can guarantee you that I would be doing something if my physical condition would let me.

But I still enjoy it the way it is.

JVRMach · 09-19-2008, 05:20 PM

Let me know when everyone is getting together.

Mister L · 01-26-2009, 12:41 PM

all is well...........need a get together to get reacquainted. Everyone has been so quiet lately!

oldyellar · 01-26-2009, 01:22 PM

or to get aquianted... id love to meet up when we get some good weather. tulsa raceway park will be open for too long.. cant beat a midnight drag get together..

OSUALUM78 · 01-26-2009, 01:48 PM

trying to find out what rental costs for TRP for me would be to rent our for a day, or half day, or for a few hours, so we can have a Mach drag day. I've kinda got an "in" with the owner. Waiting to see the numbers so can relay what cost would be split between any that wanted to attend, if enough interested

oldyellar · 01-26-2009, 03:09 PM

count me in.. depending on cost obvioulsy.. my buddy would be interested to if he could bring his BBF fox body

only Fords allowed, from anywhere. No Chebbies, lol. Well my father-in-law would want to show up. I wonder in anyone has any moxie to run against him

Any model would be fine. The more interested, the more it would help deflect cost for everyone to be cheaper... but at some point it would be self destructive to have a lot out there for what I want. I want everyone to have a good time and be able to relax and not be rushed into making runs b/c there would be a long wait or short on time.

oldyellar · 01-26-2009, 07:31 PM

yeah if you had around 25 it wouldnt be bad.. i like this idea.. is it still Dan Gutterman?? i think that was his name

Yeah, can't remember his name. Only met him a few times. But my bro did the electrical work for him (all the new night lights, etc.) a little ways back. Hopefully he would give me (us) a good price

peabodyz06 · 01-27-2009, 01:13 PM

im in too if its a decent price ive been itching to run the car havent got any 1/4 mile times yet for it. and want to meet eveyone and get out of the house for once!!!!!!!!

oldyellar · 01-31-2009, 01:09 PM

truly one of the best tracks ive ever seen.. as long as the weather permits.. the days are coming, hopefully ill be there ready to go on the first midnight race.. axles permitting

peabodyz06 · 05-14-2010, 09:58 PM

So its been a really long time since anyone has talked on here, so i figured id give it a go. Is anyone up to go to the Thunder valley this weekend weather permiting? btw is everyone ok? I hope no one got hurt in any of our recent tornados.

OSUALUM78 · 05-14-2010, 11:58 PM

I'm still here. Can't make TVR this weekend. Wife and I and cats and Betie and house are fine. Just been really busy.

Got a new tray for my Red top in the other day, and it's :PIMP:

Gotta get some new tires again soon

And my shocks/struts are getting bad

White2003Mach1 · 05-15-2010, 04:01 PM

i've been working on my '69 so the '03 hasn't gotten much attention except being drove

peabodyz06 · 05-15-2010, 04:46 PM

Cool Im glad so far everyone is ok, that's the important thing.
Well I just got my new wheels and tires so I'm ready to try them
