I’ll go check the video now . Love the machs in azure blue
TTSaleen's Mach 1 Project - This time in Azure Blue!!!
- Thread starter TTSaleen
- Start date
1st time with this car at the track.
Not very good launches (best was in the 1.80's) but did run 6.80's in 1/8th at 108 and 10.40's in 1/4 @ 138.
Shredded a belt at 1,000 foot on the last pass and destroyed my upper pulley.

Super impressive for the 1.80 60ft and pulley coming apart . 9’s and 140plus mph is in the future . Great content as always

Love it! Can’t wait to see some more track footage.
Latest track outing, not without issues.
But luckily it is an easy fix. Another track outing planned very soon!
Interesting enough, I found this after I unloaded the car and got it on my lift.
That might affect the launch a little. LOL.

So bad ass , cars an absolute monster
Update for the Mach1.
Took the T56 Magnum, RXT clutch, and driveshaft out and sold them to a local Terminator owner.
I have a bunch of leftover parts from a few years ago when I put a 6R80 in this car.
I decided to go back to the 6R80 and this time maybe it will be a better result.
I got a stock 04 shifter and bezel (the color doesn't match so I will paint it).
I had a Stiffler's crossmember, flexplate, and engine plate already.
I have found/purchased a 2014 6R80 with stock converter out of a Navigator.
I have purchased the Power by Hour transmission fittings, shifter lever, and stop bracket (prevents pulling shifter to 1).
I spent yesterday fitting the shifter as it is NOT a direct fit into a manual car.
But with a saw and drill, I got it done and it fits great (must install from bottom by the way).
Will hope to post updates soon once I receive my other parts.
Main reason to switch - I wanted to go faster and consistently at the race track.
I really liked this swap years ago, but never raced it because the Circle D converter was dragging the car down at idle and making it cut off (it was a 5 clutch deal out of my TTSaleen).
Follow along as I list my adventure to redo this swap.

I've done that to the HDs... now I rock the XDs
Very cool! What’s your plan for controlling it? I remember you having troubles with the quick 6, are you going to try that again or are you going to wire up the engine and trans to run on a factory coyote computer?
It may not hold much water, but in my opinion, I think using a coyote computer would be better but it’s a lot more work.
