1970 Mustang Engine
Whether you want to rebuild or replace your 1970 Mustang's engine is a big decision and a huge part of your total build. While some want to keep things in their classic Mustang as close to factory-original as possible, others can't wait to try out some modern performance. Fortunately, there are lots of great options, no matter which camp you're in.
1970 Mustang Engines Made for Power
Keeping your engine maintained means routinely checking the air cleaner, oil filter, and fuel filter. It also means taking care to change your oil and transmission fluid on a regular timetable. If your engine is in otherwise great shape, then some routine maintenance may be all it needs to get its edge back.
Upgrading your alternator or carburetor is a great way to get a little additional power. Some owners even opt to add electronic fuel injection. This allows for a more optimal fuel/air blend.
If your engine's totally died or you want a major horsepower improvement, then you may want to consider getting a crate engine. Crate engines give you a turn-key way to drop modern performance into your classic Mustang, effectively getting the best of both worlds.
