RE: Street fighting Galaxies

Whoa, that seems like a chunk a change for a street/strip(Street Fighter?) convertor. The one I ran was just one of those 11" rebuilds that all the convertor companies market. It was under $300 but it was 12 years ago.
Great and obviously new information to me on the FE - FX-MX Dave.

No I don't own the '61 'liner anymore. But a good friend and very knowledgable fellow FE fan, John Saxon does. John loaned me his '64 427 when I got into changing to a top loader 4 speed for the Galaxie. Just felt the need to stir gears with a Hurst on the floor. I told you John is a good friend. The 428CJ was sold and the switch was made. The original 292/cruiso '61 looked kinda like a '61 HP 390/401. It was a lot of fun but I could only muster a 14.0/101 mph. with the stock 427. Still not bad with exhaust manifolds/street tires/power steering! and 3.89s and 3,800 lbs. John has it in good shape. He has installed '63 long HP exhaust and a very rare Holman-Moody single 4 intake. We've never seen another intake like this. We think it's circa 1965. Dual plane, medium riser look but with the H & M logo.

When the snow melts, the local strip opens, John is planning to get the warrior back on the strip. Part of the deal when I let him have it was that I'd still have a few chances......remember John?
This thread, so far...
