    damn nice project car BTW.

    ever though of a steep geared high revving FE??

    360/390 block or 359 FT block with 359FT steel crank/rods/balancer/flywheel.

    ported edelbrock heads/harland sharp rockers/nice big cam topped with a dual quad offy intake and Carter/edelbrock 600's???

    put some 4.56 gears in it and it will scream like a 427.

    although i do love the 410 and 428 they have diesel torque
    Thanks man! This car is on its 3rd motor. It has been from Canada to Florida and all in between. Started life as a 240 inline 6. Then I put a beat up 390 C-6 in it. Then I put a fresh 410 in it. (390 with a 428 crank used in mercs) with a built C-6.

    This car is staying mild. I put the performance stuff on my 64 Galaxie (390/417ci), Edelebrock aluminum heads, Shelby roller rockers, Tri-power.

    Nice ride to work with... the house in the background of the one pic looks pretty sweet.
