Status: offline 		Hello to all. I have meant to post pictures of my 73 Mustang ,especially considering I have driven the so called "Fat Boy" since 1974 starting out on a rear of the lot 1972 Mustang Coupe mark down due to a two pronged attack,"The Energy Crisis and a Looooong scratch down the right side of an other wise perfect less than 2 year old factory applied mirror type finish in Dark green metallic code 4Q (as I later found out) moving right to the hood lifted it and saw a V-8;it sure was not the 250 C.I. In line 6 powered 69 stang I was trading. for it because the sales man had to say:do you want this car?I had the car delivered that evening and I took it down the pike and WOOOOOOOOOOOOO; Yawn... women waiting... Well to finish up the story:I mentioned to a friend while atanding in the parking lot next to the new ride that it had rather impressive power...He said pop the hood he looked at the air cleaner,but the C.I. sticker had been removed,so he checked the spark plug-Bingo it was a 351 Cleveland.

Guys knock me all over the place#%$*&*^(* but still I say I kept a 73 Challenger 6 Pack in my rear view mirror with him
intent on putting his tail lights in my face>>>>>>>>>>mo way ray

These days I still drive a 73 which is now an aging 10 year old first time restoration.

Status: offline 		OOOHHHHH Yeah My brotherinlaw had a 74 mustang with a 351 cleveland in it . Auto on the floor with stall converter and inline brake lock . Ram air induction Holly headers ect . Hood scop was so big that you couldnt see the right front hood because of it . Awsome car . We where doing 145 when a state patrol went the other way . Being a small town and a few years back we did the only thing we could . Pulled over and waited . A few minutes later up pulls the highway patrol . OUt pops JD Browing (Real name ) then the capt for this area . He walks up and says well boys do you know how fast you where going ? Yes sir . Pop the hood off lets have a look . Yes sir .

Status: offline 		Thanks for the memories. I had a '73 Cougar that I drove for 5 years fresh out of high school. It was 351C/C4FMX auto. I did a lot of work on it. Intalled '71 quench type 4V heads. These were from a 351CJ. Street Dominator intake. Headers and a mild cam. The problem was the 4V heads. The ports and valves were so big it had no bottom end. From 3,000 up hang on. From idle to 3,000 it was a little soft. In town it was a lot of fun. From a roll I could pull it down into first and stand on it. It would pin you in the seat pretty good. The factory tach only went to 6,000. I would shift it when the needle hit 6,000. The valves would float just past that anyway. Lots of fun!!

A neighbor back in the day late 73/early 74 had a 1073 White Cougar with a 351 C - @ the time. I allways liked it and remember a 'Lola' (real woman) that lived around the corner and drove one...yada yada yada i
