Just an FYI. If you use 77-79 Thunderbird front knuckles it drops you a couple Inches.

So I took my block up and said "minimum bored over" and so we went with .030 over. Its back now, I'll start building it this week sometime. Its now a 395.

any plans for the suspension?

great looking car

im working on a 65 polara , waiting til I get farther in the build before starting a thread though

My plans are lowering blocks in the back, down 3 inches. Then possibly a bag over leaf set up. Up front, first 3 inch lowering springs and then again possibly bags.

I want it to sit like this. Lowering blocks in the back, maybe someday a bag set up. Up front, custom lowering springs.

I should be getting the block and heads today... hopefully! I've got one week left before I should finish this, but I doubt it will be ready in time.

This is my favorite year Galaxie and a bucket list car for me.

[paddy_hanley]

Block and heads off to machine shop!

[paddy_hanley]

No new work done in the past 2 days. Trying to find parts at the moment, I might be buying rebuilt heads and a new intake today.
