Projects 57 Courier Sedan Delivery

Choices, choices... Just got a set of FPA headers for my 57 Sedan Delivery for a decent deal from a friend, so I'm pretty committed- and I just love my 427's... Gotta keep my governor on and do a mild one, so I can drive it a little- the "mileage" on the Galaxie with a 4K converter and 5.14's doesn't even compute
Also just got a cherry set of original ALGON adjustable nozzles, and I already have pretty much the whole original setup, needle-type control (instead of a barrel) valve, aircraft pump, even the cast front cover with pump drive- but that should go on the Galaxie. Still, if I had another hood... So I'm thinking that cherry 324/500 cam out of a boat engine, and my Bird 6V setup- and the air cleaner just happens to have been trimmed at the back at some point, which seems to be a tight clearance area in a 57, so I wouldn't have to cut one. Also have a set of those sweet polished aluminum boat "spark arresters" that could spend some time on there. Got a couple sets of original chrome baldie covers, so the set with the breathers could go on there. And the pickup 3spd w/OD toploader for a little mileage. Still thinking..

Got this a couple months ago from the original owners- original paint

 

That is a nice looking delivery.

 

Man,that delivery is nice. HRP

 

How do you like the FPA headers?

 

Looks really nice!

 

Really nice shape.
Good luck with it.

 

They look very nice- and have 7/16 flanges, and ball collectors. I have heard nothing but good about them, supposed to clear the steering box, clutch linkage and trans crossmember. I heard that Stan from FPA has three 57's of his own- and ALL of his headers are nice. I also have a set of coated tri-y's in the shop for a customer's 69 428 Fairlane GT, and they are sweet...
