Re: 427

If I was in your place I would install a mild 390 that looked like a 427 and save the 427 block for when I had more experience both with driving and building engines. A 64 Galaxie is a great car. I would improve it further with a set of disk brakes transferred from a mid 70ies LTD.

The reason we "older" folks are concerned for your life and safety is that we know how we drove at your age - I still can't believe I survived my youth and has even later in life had several near-death experiences in my FE Cougar.

I think the two most dangerous things for young people and people in general is getting distracted by other passengers and driving while drunk. Either of those two tend to bring about WAY excessive speeds - with the resulting bad statistics.

Good luck and enjoy your 64.
