Greenmetal1 is correct, it has an FE series big block. A 352 4bbl with factory duals and factory glasspacks, to be exact. It was only rated somewhere around 250 HP, but with all the bottom-end grunt it feels like a lot more!

I LOVE the "SHHHH!!! Here comes Daddy!!" That's great! Nice sounding ride!! I miss my '64...

[dant387]

didnt they put a 7 liter in some Galaxies? was the the 429?

[slimjim119]

it was truck only 360 same everything is same heads as a 390 and bore crank rods add to 360 pistons u get a higher c r 360 r flat top 390 r dished or bold flat tops would be around 12 to 1

[slimjim119]

406 is not a FE engine u could have got 427 it crazy fast or 428 then cobra jet put that in with a 4 speed posi rear 411's factory

[slimjim119]

390 was about 330 to 350 horse difference between 2 b 4 b carb and all was under rated

[Bonneville462]

The Fords always sounded so good with the mufflers at the rear bumper....

@B1Springfield

406 was only avalible for two years before being replaced by the 427. You could have gotten a 406 in 1962 and 1963.

[LillithCarmichael]

Yeah it is hard to believe that when they added a little length to those rods and made it a 390 it brought it up 300 or so Hp. Great engines...

[B1Springfield]

64s didnt come with 406s. the 406 was the predecessor to the 427, which is what would come in those rare high performance Galaxies. I have a 65 Galaxie of my own, LTD. it also has the 352 big block. nice car.

[greenmetal1]

@dant387 They dodn't have the 429 back then - that was a 385 series big block. Back when this Galaxy was made Ford still had their FE series big block (352, 390, 406, 427, 428). This car should have had a 390 or a 427 (or possibly a 406, but I think probably not).

[bigjimm64]

[bombthreatklothing]

[jdesean23]

[54blueflamesix]

[LOWRIDE74]

[wolverine390]

[Tornfrombelow]

I have a 68. Factory 390 but previous owner blew it up. Looking to drop a 429 in it now and going with the glass packs all the way. I'll throw a vid up when i get her back on the road.

[tinfamily]

Nice car. The glass packs sound awesome.

Used to drive a company Ranchero with glasspacks way back.
