1964 Fuel Injected Falcon Futura Sports Coupe

This video is more recent. It includes the tail pipes that were recently installed, the horn ring that I didn't have in the first vid and some fine tuning on the engine that needed to be done.
This my 64 Falcon Futura Sports Coupe 2 door hardtop. The color is called Dynasty green. When I bought it in 2002 the body work and paint was already done and it had the stock 260 small block V8 with the two speed auto trans. I drove it until 2006 when I took it off the road to do the engine swap. It sat in my garage until late last year when I finally got the motivation to put it back together. I repainted the engine bay, began collecting all the efi components, fabricated a bunch of parts needed to do the swap, then swapped in the efi engine and C-4 and finished it on March 20th, 2010. Interior is stock, under carrriage is solid, I added the wheels & tires. The engine is a 347 twisted wedge head small block which used to be in my Mustang that I race. It ran low 11's at 120mph in my Mustang. Aside from the painless wiring harness, rad, alt, headers and some of the related efi components this swap was done using a lot of stuff I had laying around. The entire engine, trans, converter, elec fans, whole intake system, even the Dynomax mufflers all came off of my Mustang. The engine is an 11:1 347, scat crank & rods, SRP flat tops, Isky hyd. roller cam, .573/.581 lift, 248/258 dur. @.050, 110 lobe sep. Milodon 8 qt pan, Summit alum 65 Mustang rad, Permacool twin 10" elec fans, stock intake, tb, maf, injectors(remember I said I put this car together on a tight budget using stuff I had laying around) A9P computer, Perf Auto C-4, 10" 3800 stall converter, full 2 1/2" exh, X pipe, Dynomax ultraflow race mufflers, stock 8" rear 3.25 gears, Centerline Warrior wheels.

Dwoolyman, thank you very much for the compliments!

@bcorrell2008 Very nice!! sounds awesome. I have a 64 2dr sedan with a 302 roller.

[bcorrell2008]

@ckelley63 thank you for the compliment. can you post a video of it? I'd like to see it.

[bcorrell2008]

Thank you. I tried 65 Mustang shorty headers and yeah, I found out they did not fit. These headers are Headman shorties that are made for the early Falcons. I did modify the collectors, though. They're made with 2" ball & socket type collectors. Since i wanted to run a 2 1/2" exh, i cut off the collectors and welded on some convetional 2 1/2" collectors. I also re-angled them to clear the steering and shifter cable.

Thank you very much for the compliments! The 347 is a great way to go. I have one in this car and one in my Mustang race car. They've been ultra-reliable and perform great, too. If you click on the little double arrows under the right hand corner of the video under where it says 995 views you'll see all the details on this car.

@bcorrell2008 I will try to get one posted asap.If you don't mind me asking what did the 347 set you back? As alwas looking for more power all though the 302 runs well, I was thinking maybe a 351 evintiualy.What state are you from ? me Dayton, Ohio. Birds The Word!!!

Very nice! I found your video by searching "falcon 347" to see others like mine. I had some mustang headers dented to hell to fit, what kind are yours?
