Luis Obispo, California This Falcon was delivered
new as a 200 c.i.d. cylinders and C4 Automatic with power steering
and am radio.
The color was white with blue interior.
This has been a five year father and son (work in progress) as time and
money
have allowed. We have upgraded the brakes with a Granada disc
conversion,
rebuilt the entire suspension with a two and half inch drop, one inch
sway
bar, stiffer springs and gas shocks.
The addition of a Toyota power steering
box eliminated the Ford push pull type of power steering. The
steering setup was done before I got the car, its a Toyota steering box
that has been fitted in there. It is very solid. way way more
precise
than stock 65 Ford power steering!!!
The engine, transmission and radiator were replaced with that out of a
totaled 1990 Mustang with a 5.0 and 5 speed combo that my son wrecked
(there
goes our insurance rates). The wiring harness for the F.I.came from
Windsor-Fox for a dear price. The exhaust manifolds are 289 hi-PO as
they flow almost as good as headers and most importantly fit. Exhaust
gasses flow thru 2-inch pipe and dual chamber flow masters.
Future improvements will be a quality repaint, the installation of an
electric cooling fan and maybe replace the plastic dash with one made of
stainless steel with full gauges.
Thanks,
Steve Lane
