Projects 1964 Falcon B/FX Build Thread

Well, there you go. simple is always better.

 

Just got a new project! 64 Fairlane, 390 motor and c6, very very little rust, for $1100 I couldn't say no

 

Good thing y0ou used the BIG Ford truck!!! ROY.

 

That car would look amazing done up in the same lettering as your Falcon,Mike.
You could have a fleet of matching FX and SS cars.....Our very own Dick Brannan!

I'm envious! Great find.

 

Here today,GONE tomorrow!!Mike is not allowed to have so many projects!!

 

Roy,
Did Mike sell the new one or something?

Scott

 

Scott;Mike got Married,bought a bigger home on a bigger lot,some things had to go!The 64 Fairlane went,the 390,C-6 went,the Falcon stayed and the F-100 Unibody stayed [for now]!! ROY.

 

The wife better stay!!!

 

I'll be back this summer hopefully. Finishing the garage floor coating. And rv parking at the new house, plus having a baby soon. I gotta switch the falcon back over to gas then hope to see some time at fontana or bakersfield, fingers crossed!

 

Great news all the way around!Congratulations Mike!

Scott

 

Nice trailer that old Fairlane is on!!!!! ROY.

 

Pfftt... the wife would be long gone before I would turn loose of a 64 Fairlane two door sedan.....

 

A decent Fairlane is pretty tough item to find these days.

A decent Woman is like a frickin unicorn Man!When you find one,you need to do what it takes to keep her onboard!

Nice goin Mike!

Scott

 

Yeah but you have to weigh the options... which would make me happier, and which would give me less trouble... Fairlane hands down....

 

Mike was being realistic,new home or another [he already has two] project! JMO , ROY.

 

Unibody is sold!

 

The time has come, I am going to put the dual quads back on it and put it back to gas. Then put some street tires on in and drive it! Injection has been fun, but having a non driving car in the garage for a year is not as fun.

 

awesome build. deff gives me motivation

 

what z-bar are you using with the doug's header? I was looking at the muscle Z-bar that is all roller bearings and heim joints on my 260/t-10 set up. I was looking at all the stock setup since my car dosent have anything. thank you and regards

 

Mike used a bellcrank for a Falcon,we had to heat and bend it a little [the upper arm] as it was not quite right!He also used the tri-Ys for a stick,there are two different styles,one for Auto and one for stick!! ROY.

 

After much discussion, thought, prayer I am going to give street able Hilborn injectors a try before the dual quads again. I'll have some pictures of my plans in a couple weeks.

 

Mike,Ric Panneton knows some guys who run stack injectors on the street,and may be able to hook you up with some contacts for some good information on setup and tuning if you need anything.

Scott

 

Mike;I thought you picked Augie's [guy drives his car everywhere] brain on that subject?!!! ROY.

 

Never mind.....Augie D was probably the guy Ric was going to refer you anyhow...lol

Roy's right.He's got a pretty good handle on making that setup work on the street,and his Chevy II will hang the wheels in the air pretty well too.

Scott

 

And Muttley :
That Taxi Driver bit was priceless!
Hope you're doing well Brother!

Scott

 

Yay I talked to Augie for about an hour. Once I get it set, if I have any other issues, he said just call him again. Super nice guy. One interesting note, a street Hilborn needs to idle around 1400 to keep it clean and prevent it from loading up.

 

getting the tank ready for the Holley float bowl

 

Well car stuff went to the back seat again...My brand new son is lined up for his first drag race!
