Hot Rods 63 galaxie build thread

Pretty!

 

nice, grt build! will motor get dynoed?

 

Unfortunately not. I hope I can get it dynoed in the car. Still waiting on Crites trans mount to set it down in car and finish putting it together. The cam grinder estimated it @ 460 lbs of tq at the crank. I can't wait to get it running. I have had to fix a bunch of rigging that was done by someone in the past

 

Got the bottom end buttoned up

 

Hope it fits out the door!

 

They're a pain in the rear to work on, but those motors pack some whollop!
Nice build.

 

I'm figuring just how different they are. Having troubles with pushrods now.

 

Finally back where she belongs!

 

This how they had the trans crossmember rigged for the c6. Not anymore. I will fine out how well the Crites mount extension will fit tomorrow.

 

Well not getting as far as I would like to be. Got the shifter mounted but missing a couple small pieces for the cable hook up. Ordered the pushrods and waiting on them so I can get the engine final assembled. Got the trans mount in after a little modification. Too much to do and not enough hours in the day.

 

Well I'm hoping to fire her up this weekend if I can get it all finished. Worrying about everything going well with the break in. I think I got the last of the parts I need. If I get it started I will post a video.
