Thread: Ford Galaxie parts

black on black was the plan.
as far as engine, pulling the valve covers was eye opening... kinda gross in there. I'll rebuild it, most likely as a 445 as that seems the most sensible for what I am doing (street cruiser). If I really wanted to go big, I'd get a genesis block and move this engine to one of my trucks. Funding will not permit that for a LOOOONG time tho.

I'm still scratching my head on this engine, haven't found the casting numbers yet. Stroke is 3.75ish, heads are 1961, intake is a 64, valve springs are doubled (dunno how common that is) yet the intakes only a 2v. I dunno, I'll pull the engine soon just to get it outta the way.

*cough* course I'm (at the moment) trying to get one of my trucks running so I can get it outta the shop and the Galaxie in.

Free time is for boring people.

A 63.5 Galaxie is by far my favorite 'shoulda kept' car out of many I've owned. It was an XL 406 4 speed, Tri Power, Heritage Burgundy, black interior. I traded it for a '65 Galaxie XL 390/330Hp Police Interceptor that was a real POS Monday built car
