 :( I thought I was going to see a old Falcon or 67 Fairlane. Cobras are too British to be Fords  :neener:

Now yer talking. I had a 67 Fairlane at one time. Was going to attempt to shoehorn a 429 into. I had the rearend narrowed and tubbed. Sold the car when I bought my house. Still have the 429 and been looking for a falcon or 40s model truck. I have my eye on a 46 ford truck but it's sitting on a chevy frame..... 4 wheel drive and chevy motor & drivetrain  :( Whoever done that should be punched in the crotch.


 :rofl Points at TB and laughs. That's fugley bro. FoMoCo shipped the ugly rides to Aussieland  :lol

 there was a guy selling a rather nice looking torino on craigslist in pa a few months back.

 putting a 429 into a falcon may be biting off a bit more than you want. that'd be better suited into a 66 or 67 fairlane....then do it up to look like a thunderbolt.  :aok

We worked one an original GT40 the other day.

I was sure to measure the 180 degree headers which make the car sound like a ferrari..........unless you have mufflers attached or merge the two banks with a X pipe or use the wrong type of mufflers.
