Is there ar clearance issue with the breather and the stock hood with the mustang II front cross member? I'm installing a mustang II front end on my 65 right now and I'm worried about my stock hood clearance. I didn't want to have to drop another $400 on a teardrop hood. I have a 302 with Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and heads. Thanks.
No ...There was no clearance issues with the crossmember, I used the rod and motorsports mustang II set up there was enough room that I could run a tunnel ram with no prob., I also used a oil pan and pick up from a fox body mustang and lowered it as close to the crossmember as possible , I acually used short tube headers from a fox body mustang as well there was no clearance issues with the column and or shaft ...the current set up is Edelbrock 289 torker intake with a holley 650
@jrmesser3 Ok, so you just went with the teardrop hood because you liked it, not because of clearance issues. Great, that makes me feel better. Thanks.
Nice ride, I myself have an 65' Falcon, and was wondering if you had to, where did you get some of the body panels from? I am having a hard time finding panel to replace rust areas on the car.
Is there a web page or something you posted more pix on for the rear end build? I want to see more of it if that is possible. Off of what did you base it?
Great looking car. Awesome work too. I am currently working on a 64 sprint also. That looks like a Rod & Custom front end there, but who makes that rear end if you don't mind me asking.
The rear end set up was all built by myself, there is no specs out for this aplication , I used the photos from total control products as a reference and designed all the components my self to work with the falcon platform
Sweet Ride!!! I have a 64 2dr hrdtp 6banger car. I have a 9" to put in but saw your rearend setup and was wondering what type. Is it custom fab or something like the Thunderbird IRS? With your help I would like to duplicate your setup for mine. Very cool. Make the chevy boys druel...LOL!
we are finishing one up but i doesnt look anything like that im hopein to rebuild it in a few years an put a hole lot of more work in it somthingthing like what yall did nice job
@bartsigler ....THATS THE REASON I WENT WITH THIS SET UP , i DIDNT WANT TO CUT UP THE CAR,.....8 INCH RIM WITH 255/40/17 ....PROB COULD SQEEZE 265/40/17 IF YA GOT CUSTOM BACK SPACE ON THE WHEEL BUT WOULD BE REAL CLOSE !!!!

Excellent thanks for the information. Where did you get all the sheet metal forward of the Gas Tank ? I cant seem to find that stuff anywhere ?

I assume you didnt back half the car. What is the biggest tire you can fit without back halfing the car ?
