I have a 68 Ford Galaxie 500 XL that I am very fond of. First off-I've been putting band-aids on it for years and now I'm finally tired of "McGivering" her. I want to take the time and get it right. I'd also like to add some horsepower if possible to. C8AE-H is cast into the heads... but I have not been able to find a casting on the block yet. I still have some cleaning to do as well. Are there any specific places I should be looking for the block size info?? Would I be better off to go with some aftermarket Edlebrock heads or some sort of performance package? I've also entertained picking up a crate engine as well. Would it be best to go with another big block? Would a small block mount up to the transmission etc.??? Basically what is a good starting point for rebuilding this Bad boy?
