Mach1 Questions
Hey Mod Machers, old school Macher here. My StreetBoss377 Clever just spun a bearing, so I’m considering some modern muscle. What do you think of this ad?
2003 Mach 1 Mustang. Oxford White which is the rarest color. Has 56k miles on it with a fresh rebuild on the motor with less than 100 miles. The motor is all forged and built ready for a supercharger if need be. The motor and car has many extras:
Cold air intake
Diablo predator programmer
Bassani X-pipe with high flow cats
Bassani catback exhaust
forged crankshaft
forged manley rods
forged Probe pistons .20 over
MMR Huricane oil pump
D.S.S. main support with studs
Comp Cams cam gears
1998 Cobra cams with have more lift than stock mach 1 cams
The new compression is 10.1:1 and it should be making around 350-375 rwhp
Asking $15k
My questions are;
Is the price right?
Can you really supercharge that compression ratio very much or at all?
Is the hp estimate accurate with the mods shown? This would imply about 100 more hp assuming the stock hp is not at the rear wheels…
Any red flags here?
I should mention I live at 5000 ft elevation wrt supercharger.

yeah sorry it seems to me like since I've sold mine this section gets less feedback action for some reason. An 03 can be bought for much less these days, but the asking price seems fair to me considering the fresh motor and it's mods. He's got some good $ tied up into it for sure. Ofcourse, if it says "asking" you can bargain some. As far as the power.....stock Machs rwhp is typically around 275, plus or minus a few for air quality and different types of dynos. .20 over and 96-98 cobra cams is a huge jump in itself and the supporting mods are quality ones. I'd say his power estimate is pretty accurate, 350 would be 75 over bone stock. Yes you can safely boost 10.1:1 compression. Normally wouldn't go over 8 lbs. but the motor has the goods on the bottom end now so it could see a little more. I wish I could afford another Mach, lol. Any more question keep em coming.
