Features Falcons done right?

I ran a 250 cast iron manifold. I hate header leaks and the one I had is leaking bad on a friends car right now. Then I had 2 1/2 in pipe out to a flow master 40 series I think it was. Sounded great and set off car alarms as I drove down the street..

 

that what im talking about! I feel ya on the header leaks, I ran a pacesetter on a 62 sedan and it always leaked! Currently my ranchero has 1.5 single strait pipe all the way to the back!!! Nothing like making some noise with a six!!!

 

i just purchased a 60 falcon 2dr and plan to lower it. i plan to use 3" lowering blocks, remove a leaf, and maybe install air shocks in the rear. however i dont know how to go about lowering the front. i heard one way was to raise the shock towers but not sure how to go about doing that. could anyone maybe post a few pics to help me out?

 

Flippin' sweet.

 

Cut a coil or two out. I took a coil and a half out ant it dropped 2-3 inches

 

Ya gotta "Quote" so we know what Falcon you are talking about. Wasn't mine. I don't live that far north.

 

I did the same thing as Bob....

Here is my Ranchero lowered and my high school Falcon. Both had built 6 bangers. 200 inch in both.

 

Dude! I think about your Falcon all the time! Saw it way back during a car show at the Visalia Mall. What happened to the car?

 

That looks bad ass!!!!

 

Here is my 63,460,c-6,9" with leafs.Drive it all year as long as the roads are dry!

 

Looks GREAT

 

Hey Steve,

Beautiful work! Any info on what you might have done as far as reinforcing her to handle that 460? I see you a lack of shock towers, did you go with a Mustang II front on her?

Great car!

Cheers!

ive regretted selling it since it left so im going to save these hopefully. should be able to make 1 good wagon and a good ute out of them (ended up buying 2 wagons, 2 utes and a sedan)

 

Getting closer to the strip.

 

Loving this thread. I go to pick up my '62 Wagon tomorrow, I'll have to take some photos.

 

Here's my 65 falcon post, it is going through a full restoration right now at okanagan college where I am taking training to become an automotive refinishing technician.
It looks a little bit different right now so if you want to check out the progress heres my build thread!!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=533427

Good score hot rod panda! Always approve of pandas barfing rainbows whenever I see them too!!

 

Are those bucket seats I spy?

Dang You. Now there's drool all over my computer desk. I'm contemplating going with cloth seats. I wear skirts in the summer and I detest sticking to the seats!


Also! Yup, those are bucket seats. The interior is super rough though, I'm probably going to take them down to the frame and re-do them. Ya know. When the time and money fairy shows up.

I'll post more photos once I get a mobile again, that dang fairy is taking way too long!

 

When you see her, send the time-and-money fairy this way.
