***Update***4-16-09 Here are the most recent shots. Sorry a German car made it in. It was actually the wifes photoshoot with her Jetta, but the falcon squeezed in for a few shots.

***Update!*** We were featured in the July 08 edition of Modified Mustangs and Fords! CHECK IT OUT!

**UPDATE** We now have a Paxton Supercharger on it! 680hp on the dyno! WOOT!
The car started life as a 6 cylinder, 2 speed ford-o-matic 64 Falcon Futura Hardtop. I drove it during highschool and then we had the 6 cylinder rebuilt.
We were going to wait for a few years before we upgrade to a v-8 but decided to just go for it.
As it stands today it has a 331 stroker, AFR 185 heads, 224 @.050, .524 lift cam, Edelbrock Performer Intake , Holley 770 CFM carb with electric choke, MSD 6AL ignition, and many other goodies including custom built ceramic headers.
The transmission was also swapped, to a mid 90's style Ford AOD. It has a 2400 Stall Converter, and the rear end is a Currie 9" shortened slightly with 31 spline axles and 3.73 locked gearing. It moves.

Here is our Falcon after the body work but before the v-8 swap.

Here is the front view. We are contemplating on some custom work here. Maybe blacking out the grill and doing the radiatior wall the exterior color. We arent sure at the moment.

man, your falcon is an inspiration to all falcon owners. I am currently going to restore my fathers 65 falcon (sedan) and was checking out your suspension. Were you able to install the 13" wilwood brakes or what type of brakes are you using? Also, was the handling improved on your ride? Thanks in advance. GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks everyone! No grill changes, some updates with the supercharger and some other pictures I had laying around. I don't get on much but I appreciate the comments!

Looks great. How much did you shorten rear end to fit the 17" wheels? I am running 15x7 with a 215 60 tire on my 64 Ranchero and have to be careful or it rubs. Do you experience any rub with your setup?
