Did you change the front bumper, grill and tail lights. Because that is a 60 or 61 ford falcon

[dfomocoguy]

Good eye! It has some 61 parts including the grill. and a few minor changes. You're the first who has noticed. You know your falcons sir.

i have a 62 how wide are your tires it looks like you moved the spring inward but are using the existing wheel wells.I did that and can only fit 26/8.5/15 m/t I'm looking at what is a decent way to fit a tire without tubbing it. I already have a different two seater.

[dfomocoguy]

I have 10.5/15 m/t on the car. I cut the inner lip on the rear fender and folded it to make a little clearance. other than that using the right wheels and spacers has mad it so the tires clear by about 1/2 inch on the inside and outside.

sounds like that has a MASSIVE stall in it, if u built that yourself good job mate

[dfomocoguy]

yeah, its a 4000 rpm stall. the engine swap took a lot more than I thought due to the limited space in the '62 engine compartment...thanks

[poweredbymerc]

God it sounds awesome :)

[tool559]

@MiniCJJ64 - Definitely a '61 front end. My first Falcon was a '61 2 door sedan.

[cooperray76]

What kind of cam are you running?

[BIGTAZ351]

Very nice sounding falcon...the "little" falcons have always been a favorite...I wonder if that 393W has enough power...LOL it has like 5x the power of the little six! Looks like 90's ranger pickup wheels on the rear....

[yamahaRT1M]

that's a 1961 grille for sure and tail lights could be 1960 or 61.the 62-63 tail lights were a bit different.

I was going to say this is not a 62 as it has a '60/'61 hood on it and a '61 grille. I just sold my '60 which was the same red as yours with a 302 in it. I actually thought yours was mine, its been about a year.
