Features Falcons done right?

Hi im Nick Im new to this HAMB Board....
This is my 1962 Ford Falcon.....


and this is my first car I build it was a 61 falcon with the frontend of a 63. If you have searched youtube for falcon videos you might have seen my video of this car I got into a wreck and the car was totaled I hit a telephone pole going about 50 I broke a steering rod. After the wreck I bought my 62 from a wrecking yard and build me a other falcon which is my 62.

You Aussies have some cool shit!

 

This is where I'm at with my XP sedan delivery.


Just mock fitting the 4.1 litre alloy head crossflow 6 and 3sp auto

 

Warren,
What will be the HP. range on the 4.1 crossflow when you are finished? Say with a 2 bl. and a 4 bl.? Stock would be?

Hey Butch
Just looked up the specs for the 4.1
Power 121Kw
Torque 325Nm
Certainly has it all over the log-design early sixes (170/200 etc)
And they're cheap as dirt as there's millions of them lying around.

 

Warren,
Break the HP and torque down in American terms,please. Are you talking about the 4.1 L being easy to find there? are the 170/200?

I agree with you on the 170/200 being a log in compairson to the 4.1L cross flow. Seems like i read that some one over there made 440 HP with one.(4.1L)

Thanks: Butch Evans(Falconeer)

I have 3" on mine also and have no issues at all! kinda wished I went with 4"

 

Hey guys, can I see some pictures of bagged front ends? im getting ready to do mine and want some more ideas. Im thinking just some 2500's and build some cups. I dont need a lot of lift so im not to worried about the bag pinching out. I know there will be a lot of deflection because the angle of the upper control arm. Any info would be great!

My car is a 63 sprint BTW.

Rob

 

Beautiful! Shockwaves are outta my budget, though. Do you have any more photos?

 

Looks like you shortened and put some new dimensions on your control arms?

 

Gday Guys,
Heres a few photos of my XK thats been off the road for a few years while i biult this motor its nearly back on the road.

 

whaddya think of lake pipes and or dummy spots on a 63 falcon. They are tradiotional and I like em on bigger cars but I have only seen on the falt black red wheel falcons which im not a huge fan of. What about on a nicely paited falcon with other good looking chrome??

 

i love how this thread wont die

 

wow! Lots of hardware on that I6. Did you fab all that stuff?
The front bags are from air lift and are not that pricey. I narrowed the control arms 1.5" and am using Fatman dropped spindles.

 

I’m generally not a fan of that stuff. Especially on a ‘60s car, but the early Falcon is round enough that it might be able to pull off going taildragger style.

Something like this...

 

that looks pretty good. What size are those supremes..13"?

 

Ha! I was going to send you this link but I see you already made your mark. Bitchen Falcon man. You get those new plates on yet?

 

Yes mate,
Ive spent the last 3 years collecting and fabricating parts for the engine, its good to see it finaly getting together.
