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

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.

@elmagicocustoms

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

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

[jrmesser3]

@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 !!!!

what r those rims called they look sharp. im 15 and making a 65 falcon

[ratt617]

@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?
