[SUPERDAVIDLEVINE]

had a ,68 falcon small eight the bigest gripe no four speed for they all went into Mostangs I enjoyed even it was a collume shift the clutch was a little hard to handle commpared to Cryler Poducts oh, I saw it once on a logt it must have been mine for I reconised a small dent in the rear fender let her rest in peaceI wish I could drive one again

[MrInstinx]

You put a milder cam in it, but how was the clearance with the flat top pistons? or did you change those?

[Isochest]

What's the cubic capacity of this car's engine. It sounds a powerful bugger. is 260 cubic inches? That's about 5 litres?

[kolbpilot]

Always liked the 260.

sweet Falcon my dad had one...

[ocnblu]

The '63 1/2 Futura is such a sweet, sexy little car. The '64 Falcon is a box by comparison. Very nice car!

[Joenm10]

Rev it already!
