Not a Falcon or Comet, but it's in the same family. Here's a pic of my 64 Fairlane. Should be done this winter. 289 with Ford 2x4 high rise...
do a search here on HAMB. Lots of good posts on Fairlane, Falcon and Comet straight axle conversions. Amount of money you will spend depends on...
Autoslim, here some info on the set-up I put together. It is for my 64 Fairlane, which is similar to the Comet/Falcon. The stock econo axle...
here's some pics of my 64 Fairlane I am currently working on... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
it's a 1968 Ford/Mercury wheel. Mustang, Cougar, Fairlane etc.. all used the same wheel
Wierd!! definately not for a US model Ford. Different part number system also. Nothing in the Ford Master Parts Catalog
re-check the part number.
another alternative for a less permanent method, just in case you want to remove the painted letters/gold leaf a couple years down the road would...
piece of cake. All parts are interchangeable. The later 302's are 50oz. imbalance, so you'll need to keep the '89 balancer and get a flexplate for...
re-check the part number. No listing for ES178R/L. Maybe ES176R/L? or ES187R/L?
try looking at some early Ford econoline stuff (61-67). They used a steering box that mounted in front of the axle with a drag link (side steer)...
Huh? guess I missed that post. Since your starting on new front frame rails, find a sterring box that is readily available. (70's- 80's)....
how about a little more info on what you have so far? what axle, spindles and steering arms are you using. Will the box be mounted in the stock...
you can use the original front frame rails, as long as they are solid with no rust. Measure the center to center of the frame rails and measure...
axle under the car is from 65 Ford (C5TA part #) or later. 48-52 spindles are also different. Steering arm I am looking for bolts through the...
bttt - post up for 1 day and already 9 pages back anyone recognize the steering arm?

I'm still in the process of connecting up the steering linkage on my straight axle conversion in a 64 Fairlane. I am using an axle from a 65...
List 50280 = Holley Model 4180, 1985 > Ford w/ 7.5 L , Auto Trans, California & Canada Emissions. Built 229th day of 1987 List 50262-1 =...
lewislynn post the numbers that are stamped on the air horn of each carb. You will see LIST followed by 4 numbers. These number will give more...
post the carb numbers... first row will be the Ford # ????-9510-? (numbers that squirrel mentioned) second row (I'm guessing they are holley's...
Is this the adapter your talking about? [IMG] All depends on which sbf 2x4 intake you have. It won't fit the low rise COBRA intake (almost same...
Ford only had 1 3X2 intake set-up for the SBF 289. Finding a complete original (with carbs, linkage and fuel log) will be hard. Most Blue Thunder...
Heating, cutting and welding on any steering components is not recommended, but is done all the time. If you do not know how to weld, take it to a...
1967 is the first year for dual master. Any '67 Ford master for drum/drum should work. Most parts suppliers should have listings for Mustang,...
Not a 289 rad. Inlet & outlet for pre '69 were both on the Passenger side. FE's had inlet and outlet on opposite sides. Most likely used a rad...
Thanks!, the more time this build takes the more I start thinking about switching to a 427 FE, especially with all the new 427 FE stuff coming...
Thanks Ford Freak. Yes had to narrow the econoline axle 5" to make the center of the spring perches 31" apart. Working on the steering linkage at...
Contact Mark from M.R. Motorsports at mcmullen1@rogers.com . He is located in Ontario, Canada. His boxes will fit FE low rise and mediun rise 2X4...
