Well -probably not the way you wanted to start out, but welcome to Club Hot Rod!!

We're really a good bunch and believe me there are a lot here who can relate to the "... old broken down ..." part of your response.

Try this link:

They seem to be the experts on all things Galaxie and should be able to help you with any of the original factory stuff!

I had a friend with a '65. he pulled the 352 and put a dual quad 427 in that bad boy and it would up and fly. Had a lot of trouble with second gear on the automatic so ended up with a four speed. Honestly, you could see a bit of daylight under the front tires when he hit second with the manual.

Post some pictures and when you want to talk Ford motors and such, there's a bunch of deep (read "old") knowledge on this site!

Again, Welcome to CHR!

P.S. - Don is one of the best - truly a wealth of information and someone I respect and enjoy. I think he needs a couple o' beers this afternoon and he'll be alright..
