Jay's best time he turned in that car was 8.64@154.55!
Station wagons are cool. [thumbsup]
Holy shit! 8.64!!!! :o
Dude, 427 Fords rule... [thumbsup] especially when they're backed up to a TopLoader! Hehehe.... [evil]
Hey, I have a toploader!
What can we put that in?

Does it have a 1 1/16" input shaft or 1 3/8"?
Just trying to figure how much torque we can put through it. [evil] [evil] [evil]
Hand me a cigarette, I think I just came.

Id bet the 1-1/16.
It came from a 68 Mustang with a 289.
But still ;D

Just build it.
If it breaks back it off a notch. ;)
I probably should just sell it.
It's not right for the project I have in mind anyhow. . .
Last time I followed drag racing was in high school mid 60's. Ford 427 Hiriser with Hilborn fuel injection in a Willis or Anglia were "A" Gassers and ran about 150 MPH and about 10 flat I think.

Some of the coolest shit I ever saw.
9100 rpm? Jebus! Yea, that station wagon is doing it. [thumbsup]
LA
That intake makes my pants feel funny
OMG
That is right for the project I have in mind. . .
Then you have a *very* expensive project in mind....

Trick FE Fords are
VERY pricey to build.
429/460s (like this one) are cheaper to build and more powerful, dollar for dollar.

This one (currently prettying up my shop) will make HP at the low-600 level and be silly fun in my brother's Factory Five Cobra. :)

WOW that's a big ol' [bacon] sammich right there! [evil] [evil] [evil] [evil]
The Stelling & Hellings air cleaners are a nice touch.
Are the CJ heads out of the box or ported?
Here's an in car clip...

Out of the box, but cleaned up as far as casting oddities.
I thought that BAMF-motor was going into a '66 Ford 500 backed to a 4-speed as some tribute to a factory lightweight Galaxie?
Cobra project? Cool..... (wipes drool up from keyboard)

Stu have you seen this Falcon?

That be an old Ford Indy motor in there... ;)
I scrolled down just enough to see the 2nd pic and my thought was:
'Oh My Gawd. That's an old Indy DOHC 289!'
Then I read your last line... ;D
I like the front end, but the 'fastback' thingy ain't my taste (although I *know* why it's there...)

They're a really nice head for the 385 series engines.
IIRC the port and bowl castings are pretty darn good to start with.
My Edelbrock medium riser FE heads were decent but had some flat spots in the bowls that needed to be taken care of. Valve guide bosses needed some trimming also.

It was. But then I sold the engine to my bro and sold the rolling chassis to buy my H-D Street Rod.
Yeah, his Cobra is gonna be awesome. It will have a manual trans to boot. Can you say smoky, fishtailing, out-of-control action? [evil]
No, I can't say that. So, to better educate me you'd better let me test-drive said animal, OK? [evil]
Get in line, mister. ;D
I need to start prodding him again on that project. It's been sorta stagnant for a while, just a nifty rolling chassis with no body on it at this point.
Besides, I'm gonna need my engine stand back next winter to build my stroker 4.6 for my Mustang.....
