Good start. I have a '63 Classic with a Ford 8.8, 4 link rear, and Chevy 350. Personally, I didn't think the straight six was worth the rebuild.
I'm really enjoying this thread. You make it look so easy!!
Incredible!
Any more details?? My car's not done, but as i'm from Rochester you've piqued my interest.
Looks rad, i'm just buttoning up some of the loose ends on my '63 Rambler wagon project in a similar style, flaked roof, bagged.
After a search it appears that these heads are for 1949-53 Ford/Mercury engines. Can anyone comment on the pitting? I just don't know how to gauge...
Is it normal to see some degree of pitting on the mating surface?
My uncle gave me these heads, story is someone gave them to him in the 70's... Ive googled the number stamped into the head but came up pretty...
It must've gotten striped shortly after you took those pix. It was striped when I saw it on saturday

Neat project! Those 2.3's were cool motors. The T3 turbos are amongst the bigger turbos found on production cars.

Hi all, I'm in the process of transplanting an '85 350 into my '63 Rambler wagon. I'll be running an Edelbrock 1406 carb. I noticed that the mech....
I left a small pail near some cans of spraypaint.... You could imagine the mess I encountered a few weeks later.
That's a mint combo.
Love it! Looks killer with the supremes!!
Great read! Cool car!
That's a good guide that's posted above. I would use some 1/4" foam under the vinyl. It will look much, much better than just vinyl stretched...
I have a '63 wagon and I think it's badass. I think that cars worth around $3500-4k. The grills are a one year only piece, hard to come by in good...
That's a pretty sharp looking color.
That was my other idea... 1.5" copper pipe sweated together with some straight couplers as connectors to the water pump and radiator inlet...
Trying to find a 1.75" radiator hose elbow (both 90 and 45 degrees) to connect my sbc water pump outlet to my aftermarket radiator. I thought that...
Here's mine in its current form. Bagged, 4 linked in rear. [IMG]
Looks good!
