and well ill be updating this soon putting together a 260 have two holly 450 carbs tunnel ram with hand ported heads. As well as a build c4 trans with a shift kit. I also plan on putting in a straight axle with steelies in the back and 10 spokes in the front well enjoy

 

cant wait to see it done

 

cool ride

 

thanks, i figured this wasnt a bad first car since i got it from the original owner sat for 35+ years in dry storage

 

Finished porting heads today picked up 60 cfm from 140 to 200 at 500 lift not bad for my first set of heads. Thanks to the guys atDr-J's Performance for all the help.

 

Should have my 260 ready here in a few weeks.I still have to port my tunnel ram but it is comming along nicely

 

Picked up some new seats from the swap meet today. Not a bad deal for 10$ a seat... the guy said they came off an old tractor, they recline back and can be adjusted forward or back about 4 inches.




The backs are stainless steal.. should clean up nicely

 

Electric or mechanical fan... hmmm

 

well a little up date for you guys i got a picture of my c-4 trans and i hit the jack pot today at the pomona swap meet i got a straight axle with new bushings, tie rods, king pin joints, new wheel cylinders, new brake lining, new wheel bearings, new wheel bearing caps, new wheel studs, a steering box, new shackles, engine member, brake proportioning valve, and new brake lining for $140.00 (ill take some better pictures when my camera recharges in the morning)

 

Now to find some american mags

 

there we go

and my older brother is going to donate a 9 inch rear end and 2 americans to my project

 

Gasser yeah!!!!

 

yep that is the plan slowly making progress

 

Early fastback Falcons are cool..Sounds like you have a good plan too..............

 

I'd swing away from the tunnel ram-too 70s-80s, and probably way too much carb for a 260(unless you ment 460? Which is late 60s anyway, are you going for a period correct build?).

 

Looks like your off to a good start on your project. Good luck on the build

Jon

 

yes i have 2 450s and finished porting the manifold today here is a mock up




i like how my older brother is looking deeply at it haha

 

yes i would like to keep it as period correct as possible as for the tunnel ram i have put alot of hours of work into porting that dam thing and their is no turning back now

 

Now this is a cool project!

 

next on my list is a b&m 60 series 3 speed hydro shifter (accepting donations )

 

update i picked up my rear end housing today and here are some mock up americans on it(chevy bolt pattern)

 

That does seem like an awful lot of intake for a 260. My buddy in high school put a 500cfm Holley 2 barrel on his 260 and drowned it. Nursed it for 2 days and took it off. Undrivable.

 

Looks like you are off to a good start! Keep it up!


On the tunnel setup....900 cfm is way overkill unless that motor is built to the hilt and revs to the moon. What's your plan on the engine mods?

 

ok here is what i have 260 bored 40 over and honed (out of a 63 and a half comet oddly enough) ported tunnel ram(still need to flow test) and ported heads flowing 200 cfm isky .512 lift cam .187 intake valves , competition valve job

 

just so u know i am in love with your falcon i drool over it all day haha

 

Well today i picked up my rebuilt center section (4.11 with trac loc posi) and 9 inch housing i also picked up a SW greenline tach... ill post pictures later tonight after i get off work( here they are ...)

 

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I thought you might like seeing your car's cousin in Tennessee. Other than the fender, it's the original unrestored paint.

 

haha looking good

 

another update..... some more parts

Fuel filter

Valve covers

harland sharp rocker arms

oil pan

 

How about your cars other cousin from South Carolina,,,circa 1967. HRP
