    The FAST series is something I have always been intrigued about... It makes people revert back to Hot Rodding basics... Finding trick ways to make power then figuring out how to make it hook on Pizza Cutters..... Amazing!

    I own a 1970 Mach 1, the one you see in my avatar. 1970 was a great body style year for Ford.The Ranchero came off the same platform I believe and has the same front nose. Torino's and Rancheros also had hideaway headlights. My Mach 1 has the 351 Cleveland. A nice substitute for the massive Boss 429. Like this car mine is also completely restored. When my wife and I bought the car in 1977 she drove it daily for 10 years, then we put her in the garage and only took her out on weekends as we bought a 19 87 Tempo which she drove
    daily. She always a complained about the Tempo not having any power LOL.

      I hadn't thought about that. I've read a few articles a ways back talking about the non boss 429s being really stout, so when I hear almost into the 12.s I was surprised. An SCJ would run faster.

      In some rare cases, adding weight helps. With those small tires it seems to work with these types of cars.
