Do I see a real nasty small block in your future? Let me know if you need a good tranny built for it!

If that wasn't left in front of your house as a joke, you got taken. Find yourself a Cougar or something with a little pizzazz. At the very least trade it for a Maverick for God's sake.

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.

Ralph, I gotta see if I can get you some pictures of my bud's '63 Falcon daily driver...

He put an Mustang SVO drive train in it....2.3L Four popper with a turbo and a five speed....Gets 28 MPG highway and hauls the mail...He has done many many suspension upgrades....

60? 61? We got a 60 we have been playing with for a looonnng time. 144 inline 6 with a 3 on the tree. 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.

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.

Thats a cool car we useto go surfing at the jetty in hunington in one of those had surf racks it was some fun times

good score Ralph

« **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2011, 06:49:11 AM »

thanks guys

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

« **Reply #15 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.

Here's our 60.

that car is in much better condition than mine, just redid the front wheel bearings today and now i can hear the pinion bearing. lol

« **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:24:44 PM »

I think it needs a straight axle with a four speed and a big block!

Well I guess its kinda cute, in a ugly hobbit car kinda way.

But come on Ralph, you cant leave a 6 and a slush box in it, thats just wrong.

« **Reply #21 on:** July 28, 2011, 11:46:41 AM »

cool ride i see a nasty 302 and a straight front axel in the picture

« **Reply #22 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!
