Yeah, Wes added me to the fanatics group. My name is Drew Pojedinec.... just msg me there if you need anything else. I don't do much with manual...
Oh yeah? I rarely come here, mostly hanging around fe forums and facebook groups these days. My 63 is too new fangled technology for this place...
You called me.... but all the info you need is in the post above mine. My opinion. I'd say just use the c6, sell the t10. live a long happy...
I like the front of the cylinder head as it soaks up less heat that way.
I ran an engine for years in a Galaxie with the crossflow radiator and no surge tank. It's not ideal but it can be done.
Spring from a dashpot?
That would work. Measure the u joint to see what series it is.
Ohh and for the c6, either fab up some 1/4inch plate for each side to use the original transmission crossmember, or just make a new crossmember.
Yeah, engine mounts changed in 65. Proper mounts for an early FE in a 63 Galaxie are Anchor part # 2222 and #2223 $20 for the both of them at...
Sorry, was offshore..... Yeah the new timing gear issue is common. like many things with FE's there is older vs later differences. Front hubs...
On a 63-64 Galaxie, same steering boxes between manual and power. Center link, inner tie rods, and outter tie rods are different. In truth,...
Galaxie control valve I built for a fella a few years ago: [img] Notice bottom right the two cups and spring to hold tension on the ball stud....
Yeah, I'm with crazy steve on this one..... I'm an engineer by nature and profession, I view all parts for a specific purpose. Thus why I went...
simple rebuild kit $60 Overhaul kit $30 https://transpartsonline.com/TRANS_PARTS_FILE/tpcat.php?TransPartsOnline=C6&TransPartsType=C6
Input shaft of a c6 is pretty darn hard to turn by hand. Of course given the amount of work to install a c6, I am pretty certain I'd tear it down...
63.5 Galaxies? I lovem. If you need any help with anything ask, I've pretty much torn every piece of these car apart. Same goes with Fe's and c6...
Probably someone selling a 360 block......
Yeah, I'm sure Ford mixed a different batch for low performance pickup truck engines :-)
Honestly, I don't care whatcha do..... but I will cast a vote in favor of the FE. Excellent part is they all look pretty much the same...
It's like any other Ford brake drum. Two small bolts hold it in. Two arms are jammed between the shoes. The stud above it has two springs and the...
Honestly, you'd be best just trying to make one. Just about every car you might find in a junkyard is going to have the same problem. They...
with any of the ford engines I have worked on, end seals are not used. 1/4 bead of silicone is required on the ends tho. fe's are the worst....
Old Soul. most 63 Galaxies I've seen came with 3.25 rear gears. Obviously you'd need to check. What I think is funniest about this thread is...
good ole hotdog johnny's grew up not too far from there.
my 63.5 Galaxie has 4.10 rear gears with 25.5inch tall tires. Ain't scared of 3800rpm cruising. The downside? the 429 gets 6-8mpg I've got a...
Love the car Murph. Black with red or black interior is easily my favorite of this model.
White is classic for sure. I have to admit, a 63.5 Galaxie shows off it's extensive trim when the car is black. Eventually I'll get bored with...
Mine. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
fastback and convertible use the same windshield if i recall.
we use them pretty often. The Tugboat I live on 8months a year is nothing but 1/4inch and 1/2inch plate. Anything thinner than 1/4inch the...
