This is my old boys Project, I know this isnt a falcon, but its still a Ford, and my turbs isnt worth posting up yet. The motor was only put back together chrissy eve and its still on a run in tune, so no power figures yet.

Its taken quite a few years, More dollars than anyone wants to add up, and a lot of patience to get to this point.

Pics are from last time we took it out 6 months ago, but on the way to Shannons the motor sh*t itslef (A built 351 with mild cam and the blower on), Hence the rebuild to 408 cubes

VERY different that's cool as f*ck.

wouldnt be many of those old suckers cruising the streets!

I reckon keep the front wheels as they are, but some minitubs and fat assed 15's in the bum would fatten it up soooooo much more!
