As I'm sitting here looking out the window at this winter wonderland up here in the Northwest. I have the heater on warming up the shop and I hope to actually stick the 352HP/427 into the '60 today. A major step for me. Just one step at a time. Flywheel, T-85 & clutch linkage next. Wait, driver's side shorty exhaust manifold before equalizer shaft I think....
But I'm happy that you're enjoying that special FE sound coming from your Fairlane GTA. I remember it well. Within three days of purchasing my GTA in May, '66, I hack sawed off the stock mufflers and welded on a set of Walker Continentals. Followed up by 2 1/2" tailpipe extensions replacing the last three feet of the stock tailpipes that I also sawed off. Turned down the reverberated sounds of the Beatles and the Stones and let her rip down the highway at 3,000 rpms monitored by my brand new used Sun tach that I'd mounted on the steering column the day before the exhaust "system".
Another unibody factory FE powered ride I will someday own again! |
