finally getting it torn down. Mike

It's nice to begin a project with great starting point. ww

1965 Galaxie 500XL 445ci Stroker (soon) C-6
1965 Galaxie 500XL 390ci P-Code, 4-Speed
1965 Galaxie 500XL 289ci Cruse-O-Matic
2001 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 5.4L
2006 John Deer X320 Garden Tractor

What is going in it for engine and tranny duties?


---------------------------------
- 70 Fastback Mustang, 489 cid FE, TKO-600 5 speed, 3.70 9 inch
- 71 F100 shortbed 4x4, 397 cid FE, headers, Street Dominator, 280H, 5 lug Dana 60, 4 speed

The eng. is a +.040 390 mirror block, stock crank and rods with arp bolts, forged pistons, 270H cam, Erson rockers, Ed heads 9.5:1 c.r., r.p.m. intake. Would have liked to have gone with the 4.25 stroker kit, but had to stop the bleeding somewhere. Most of my car budget is going in the mustang. The trans is a TKO-600 with the .68 overdrive, keeping the 4:10 rear gear. Mike

I liked the arched rear fender flares on the '63. I had a 351W that my dad and I built for me to drive in high school. I think it had a New Process 4-speed with the granny low so I never used 1st gear. Even still, I could beat most challengers until the 3-4 shift, where there is a huge RPM drop. I really like the body style, and what a great running motor that 351W was. There was so much room under the hood, it's begging for an FE though.

If i can sell my ramp truck (have a fella interested) I'm thinking of getting one of those and a trailer.
