It started life as a V6, 3 transmissions and 1 destroyed engine later she got a 5.3L SHM shortblock. Im still not really done with the project but ya. Thats about it.
Suspension is MM
I get asked that question a lot, I would figure people would know that it was a swap [8D]
We have a 71' Mach1 that we would like to put one of those exploder 302's into untill the Cleveland is done.

especially since I have Mach 1 in there 
I call her a 95' Mach 1 because she got almost all of her go fast goodies from a Mach1 front clip. I am selling the 0 mile shortblock right now, I went with a 96-98 cobra block instead. The interior is slowly being converted over to a complete Mach 1 charcoal theme.
Basicly Im going to try to make it look like a Mach 1 had one been made in 1995 w/o the rocker stripes though.

negative... they say gt or gtp near the BOTTOM head bolts... which are not under the valve cover

Yeah, but this way you can tell without taking the valve covers off... it's a little easier at least (unless the valve covers are already off it anyway) [&:]

Very helpful info guys, thanks again.
Is there anything different between these blocks and the 94/95 Roller block in the GT's and Cobra's?
How much horsepower can the block itself handle?
Any other tips or advice you guys can give me on these engines?
Thanks
