69 Mach 1 tires/gear ratio
Sr and I finally got our Mach 1 back on the road. Previously had a worked over 302 boss engine that was chipped at 8k with 513’s. Was set up perfect. Currently has a freshly stroked 351/408 with a ton of torque and 355 gears 4 speed top loader. 235/60/15 tires - less power steering.
Want the best tires possible!!! Any advice? Currently it roast the tires all the way through 4 and have your hands full trying to keep it in one lane. Almost wish we would’ve went 323 gears but not really wanting to run the car much past 110. Engine is incredibly strong. Valako heads etc. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e7dc75a21.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7b8e291fd.jpeg |

What’s the story of the garage mate?
I had one like that many moons ago |
Kind of a neat story behind the two cars. I had the 73 z in high school (mid 80’s) and he had the Mach 1. Bunch of fun times and have had both (for the most part) ever since. So many times I hear omg I wish I would’ve kept… stories.

Are you planning on keeping the 15" wheels?? If so, that will limit choices.
I can tell you a 29" tall tire with 4.56's runs just under 110mph at 6000rpms. |

What hp does the engine make?
Any suspension modifications? |

A beautiful car for sure...both, actually. But I've always loved that Mach 1...

How many miles a year do you drive the car?
