    1964 Galaxie 500 XL Tremec Project

    Just got my 3550! Rob (Wick) will be changing a few things e.g. FE Big block input shaft and 4th gear. I will post up pictures when I take some.

    It is going in my 1964 Galaxie 500 390. Its a 390 w/428 crank and .040 over. Edelbrock performer RPM aluminum heads, Shelby roller rockers, 427 R-code Factory cast headers, and Tri-power.


    It will be very nice having a 0.68 5th gear. The top loader in there now was 1:1 in 4th.....

    Here is the shifter I am going with. The one show is for a 3650 but you get the point. I will use this base and part of the handle. I need to figure out how to fab a factory looking handle to this thing.
