RE: Galaxie 500: info and ideas please?

Yes you have a 9 inch rear. I would not even think of a 385 series,(a 460) they are a lot heavyier than a FE. If you go with a 390 put in a stout cam, like one with a 536 lift, Edelbrock heads, (they are about 1200 bucks complete, Edelbrock 427 performer intake, C8AE-H heads mildly ported and polished with a 3 angle grind on the valves, a 770 Holley Street Advenger carb. That C-6 KEEP IT, you will lose about 60 HP to the rear wheels but C-6s are very durable and almost bulletproof. I'd put in a 2700 to 3000 stall converter with a shift kit. The rear I'd go with a 4:11 with a posy, and change the 28 spline axles and get 31 splines for durabillity. Strange makes very good axles. You can order all this from Summit or Jegs, and others. This is pretty much the setup I have in my 66 XL and I love it. The only problem is trying to drive 70 on the freeway with the 4:11s, I go 55 when driving to shows or the dragstrip. I also suggest going to www.fordfe.com. SOME of these guys are FE guros and have helped me out bigtime!! Theres a lot of info there on our cars and FEs, you wont be sorry.

This thread, so far...
