the 6cyl in a '61 Fairlaine would be in the same class as the 223 I6, never offered in a Falcon Chassie, in fact, it probably wouldn't fit. The basic Falcon chassie was used from 1960-1980 where it was last used ( tho had many changes ) in the 1980 Ford Granada.
Matt, no matter what you put in an A, other then the 4 popper it came with, it will need firewall work and it will be tight....
