Projects 1964 Falcon B/FX Build Thread

It's just a 302....Almost done modifying the radiator tank to fit. Put a block off plate over the fuel pump hole and mounted a bracket there for the fuel pressure regulator.Then ran the line to the 427 style fuel filter then around to the fuel log once it gets here next week!

 

Always thought the expansion tanks were cool!

 

I haven't seen this air cleaner or these valve covers on too many cars! My Mickey Thompson valve covers will be for sale if anyone is interested

 

Sweet looking valve covers mike..the air cleaner is cool too...where did you find those ?

Rooster

 

Holman Moody is still in business today and I got them directly from them. The valve covers came in a BlueThunder box, so You can probably get them through BlueThunder as well.

I got a chance to put my hands on Mike's Hollman Moody covers today. They are incredible pieces!!! The pent roof design on a SBF looks very cool!!

 

They are cool!! You should hear the cry babies on the FE site crying foul,TOO FUNNY!!!!They are just hurt because our small block Fords will run with,or out-run their FEs!!!! ROY.

 

Roy I plan on putting the FE's on the trailer when i get my falcon done..small blocks rule !!

Rooster

 

Rooster;I would love to have a badd assed FE in my Comet,but I can not afford the money to build one to meet my needs!!! ROY.

 

Al;GOOD LUCK,I'm always to antsy to wait until I have saved enough to buy the FE of my dreams!! The racing bug has a SERIOUS hold on me!!!! Your Comet WILL be awesome!!! ROY.

 

Roy what are u running in your car bbf, sbf ?

 

Wow this thing is looking great .I love it .

ROY.

 

Made it home Saturday, working on finishing painting the roll cage

 

Thinkin us Small Block guys need to kick it up a notch....ummmm what should I put in the Wagon???

Fast Eddie

 

Paint lookin Kool!!!!!

 

Eddie;to keep the "OLD Guard" happy,I guess we need FEs!!! I am REAL happy with my big inch truck motor though,also hard to argue with low 9s out of a Windsor[Ernie's]!! If I lived where they ran N/SS,I would run a FE,but since I don't,I think I will stay with my old truck motor!!!! ROY.

 

Mike;your Falcon looks awesome out in the sun!! I know you are running a back seat,but you still need to seal off the trunk from the rest of the interior,including the package tray.You can use either .032 Aluminum or .024 steel.Did you get that distributor gear ordered? ROY.

 

Love the color.

 

Great Color!!!! Looks Fantastic!!

I don't know if I will be driving it by memorial day, that would be nice though!! Roy after I finish the engine compartment I will address the trunk and plan on building a bulkhead. Although I have the Taylor NHRA approved battery box too so we will see

 

Got the engine compartment done today with Eastwoods Underhood Black 2K. This is the second engine compartment I have done with this and I really like it, the sheen is great. I also got the steering painted in cast blast and the other suspension pieces detailed. I got the interior sanded down and ready for primer. I am going to work on getting the engine in during the next week.

 

Looking Great!
