Full Description

In 1971, the Mach 1 started with a base engine of the 302ci based Windsor motor, with a 2 barrel carburetor,
followed by four optional 351 Cleveland engines - the 2-V, 4-V, the C.J.(Cobra Jet) and H.O.(BOSS 351).
One of the most recognizable features of the '71-'73 Mustangs is the optional (standard on Boss 351) NACA (NASA) hood with dual scoops.
Though available as a visual, non-functional item, they could be made fully functional on models ordered with the Ram Air option, which included vacuum controlled 'flappers' at each scoop, and a fiberglass under-hood 'plenum' that directed cool, outside air into the carburetor. The ram-air option included a two-tone hood paint treatment in either 'matte black' or 'argent' (matte silver), coordinated to the color of the Mach 1 decals and striping.
In addition, all Ram Air-equipped Mustangs of this generation came equipped with twist-style, chrome-plated hood lock pins.
