Let's see those engines

what cam shaft did you choose

I have to look, it was nothing special, local motor shop did the rebuild, did not need a bore. This thing runs smooth, cruises down the road comfortably at 65 and gets good fuel mileage. A lot of la parts fit in this motor. Would like to upgrade to a 4 barrel though.

We may have twins,is that QQ1 Dark Red Poly?

 

[66383]

A lowly 383 street driver.

 

[TonyB]

I forget the name, but it is the original color from 1966, did not want the side chrome on it, I have it but not installed. Folks at the car shows say it should have a moonshine tank in the trunk. Dual exhaust with flowmasters.

Yours is sharp, is it a Satellite? Thought about the 383 but I have a 69 Mach 1 to drive if I want to get juvenile, this is the cruiser. Would like to do after market air though.

Satellite...nice ford!

Mine firing up for the first time. Making some hits on the dyno.

Should be a piece of cake making a base plate. If the two bll. is taller than the four, it's really going to be tight under the hood, unless your useing a hood scoop.

I'm not sure what gearbox you're referring to. The steering box is just the factory manual.

yep could be close on the air cleaner. i saw some pics with you taking the 361 out and the steering box looked different. the one i have in my 64 is different than what you have.

I thought '62-'74 were the same. Here's a better picture.
