You can buy a hood just like that from Crites now ($360) [IMG]
The hood was made locally off of a stock steel hood. From the back you can see how the scoop was built in rather than just grafted on top. [IMG]
It could clear a stock hood with some mild work but I now have a fiberglass one with a molded in eliminator scoop. The steelies would definitely...
I posted about this car a while back - Just about to start driving it as soon as I can get it to idle properly:confused: All other details...
Great suggestion - I see lots of value in that idea. Thanks
Some pics attached. Yes shock towers are gone. I used a stock M2 cross member and Heights lower A-arms and their upper bag mount. I had to add an...
First time in 4 years that it drove and stopped on its own... 390/C6 - blocks in the back and bags in the front.
I have a 390/c6 in my 65 Falcon. Yes it was a pain in the ass to fit with a Mustang II, but if I had gone with the Crites kit it would have been...
I waited almost 6 weeks for a trans mount from them - when I called to order she said it would ship in about a week. She got progressively snotty...
Also, good luck dealing with Crites. They are WELL known for their (her) lousy customer service and slow order fulfillment record. Quality of...
65 Falcon (same as 64) $600 3.5 years ago.
These guys make really nice stacks for 70's era Honda bikes. I had them custom make me a set for my Tri-power EFI set-up I was doing. They are...
A good friend of mine just built this pedal car for/with his son. It is based roughly on a 3 wheeled Morgan... It has 5 (forward) speeds,...
I have not run the car long enough yet to really comment on the rad. I bought a trans cooler (not hooked up yet) to help cool the trans fluid out...
Nothing for an FE/MII combo in a Comet or Falcon - only for cars with shaved shock towers. Even the rear trans mount does not fit with the offset...
I was planning on carrying a spare with me....How long/what RPM did it take to toss yours off the first time? I am not planning on revving this...
Well after much editing my 65 falcon now has a running Fe in it. [IMG] For this to work...I had to make headers, exhaust, motor mounts,...
65 sedan, Fe/C6 power with home made efi tri power. Bagged in the front now blocked in the back. Hoping to finally get it driving this summer.
That is definitely in the plans - the adapters look pretty unfinished right now.
Updated pic - with all 3 throttle bodies in place and the velocity stacks in position. Still need to weld in the injector bungs and finish the...
making some progress on the adapters. Still have quite a bit of hand "die-grindering" to open the holes drilled through the adapter connecting the...
Ok - after a lot of measuring and thought the only really viable route is "B". This is really the only way to make a clean transition and it also...
Thanks for all the input. I had considered using a 4 weber manifold....The main deterrent is cost and availability. The Fe series of motors is...
Custom EFI 390 Tri power... <hr style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" size="1">I am...
Narrowing your rear axle alone is not going to give you any more room for tire clearance - certainly not 2-3" worth - unless you move the springs...
Well actually Abbotsford just east of Vancouver BC. Building an FE powered 65 falcon 2dr sedan. Posted some pics before of it here somewhere......
Well...It is solved....No thanks to the block.... I took off the oil pan and found the crank to have a 3U stamped on it. That will positively...
Thanks for all the replies. I will pop the oil pan off and look for the added webbing now that I know what it looks like....
