  • Опубликовано: 24 май 2024
  • After pulling this rare 63 Ford Falcon Futura Hardtop out of the junkyard for $500 and getting it running 3 years ago. I am finally pulling out the old tired 40 horsepower inline 6 and 2 speed auto and swapping in the entire driveline out of a 95 Mustang GT 5.0 Windsor and T5 5 speed manual transmission. This should give us close to 10 times the power it had before and a stick shift is just more fun.

I own a 1963-1/2 ford falcon sprint that my grandpa, my dad, my uncle who was a body man, and myself did a frame up restoration on. It has a 260 v8 and a 4sp on the floor tranny. I love this car and the memories made working on it! I absolutely love seeing these old falcons get back on road. I’m in process of doing a 4 barrel swap and doing away with points ignition on it.

    Man, thats a tight fit! I had a buddy(tommy) that got a falcon with an inline 6 when I was about 15, or 1979. I was riding in the back seat, another buddy (named Buddy)in the passenger seat. Well, Tommy was gonna show off, he went in to an S-turn on an access road beside the highway, I told him he was coming too hot, he mumbled some rude stuff, and as we spun out, the back end went up over the curb and we hit a chain link fence. Broke all kinds of stuff underneath the car. Lucky we were all ok, and I was only a mile from home so I hoofed it home. Tommy wasn't supposed to have anyone in the car, so his dad took the falcon away from him and put in a 289 V8. I liked it before and after the wreck. Tommy's dad sold it cheap to move them to Texas. Was a cool car.

    Great video. One thing I thought of, being a former first responder. Don't let Wawa drive with those plastic hair clips in her hair. I've responded to accident scenes where girls get slammed back into their seat and without being too graphic, those get slammed into the back of the head and cause a lot of damage. Really shouldn't be in a car with those in her hair at all. They're great for around the house or at school or w/e, just not in the car.

Sit in your car and slam your head back against the headrest as hard as you can. That would probably hurt a little right? And that wouldn't even be close to the amount of force you'd see in a car accident. Soft hair ties only for my girls. I've seen some stuff!

    I'm happy to see you're putting that motor out of that Mustang in that falcon I've been waiting many moons to see it done Julie I'm excited to see it run
