hell no, toss a 4.6 32v cobra motor with a whipple, t56 and an 8.8" into it. not a lame sbf pushrod. enjoy 500-600hp that'll run all day long with the AC on.

We put a header and a offenhauser manifold on it. Fun little car. That tranny I could lift and hold in place with one arm lol. Eventually it will get a sbf and be a little Thursday night 1/8th mile runner at irwindale. But alot of projects in front of it. Ill take some pics tomorrow and post em up.

Post by: 1975_Challenger_461 on July 27, 2011, 05:10:01 AM: Nice ride Ralph...though it's a Ford ??? . I have a buddy that has a 4 door, he ripped a 305 out of his fox-stang stuffed it in the Falcon and is working on making the rear doors swing "suicide". If you need any parts he has the hook-ups on the hard to find stuff. Let me know if you need anything. :thumbup: :beer:

Post by: Ralph Brunt on July 27, 2011, 06:49:11 AM: thanks guys :thumbup: its a 62 with the little 6 and auto trans. it will stay that way for a while as i dont need any tickets lol
Title: Re: tired of boats
Post by: Luckie Stiff on July 27, 2011, 07:43:56 AM: The 6 is a good motor & they can make some decent power with the right parts & love. Your achilles heal is the cruise-o-matic trans, they're not known for longevity & you'll play hell finding a rebuilder. The early C-4 is a pretty simple swap, let me know if you need anything, help, parts, etc.

Post by: stc315 on August 01, 2011, 10:20:57 PM: Nice project Ralph. I can picture it low, skinnies in front, steamrollers in back 598ci Kaase Boss under the hood and 4 mufflers so it sounds like a 302 with a cam!
