Yeah....I like the 69 Mach better than the 70, also. It would be easy to swap out the stock 302 or 35W for a 351C since that is what the 70 351 4V was. There were supposedly some 70's that got the 351W 2V even though most got the 351C 2V. Yes, the 390 was an option. The rare one is the Y code 390 2V motor, as most were S code 4V motors. The cool thing about a 69-70 is that they could come with an engine from every engine family that was around at the time. Plus, there are engine swap headers to put anything in that you would want.
I have a 71 Mach 1, and I wish that someone made a pair of headers to put a 428 in it. At this time, it is not worth the effort for me to make a custom set, because 429 headers are so cheap and plentiful for it. Same goes for 429 parts in general. Maybe for one of my future projects though. For now, I am going to be putting a 428 in a 69 Montego MX, and one in a 64 Galaxie 500.
