The E-brock Performer 390 is an excellent choice along with their 750 carb or an autolite 4100 - 1.12 - 600 CFM is great too. Check out that way long discussion on the 4100! I'm assuming your Galaxie is an automatic so make sure you get a carb with kickdown provision. Edelbrock sells this kit to go with their carbs. Since this Galaxie is mainly for street use you'll want a high torque cam for strong bottom end power, the Edelbrock performer is again a great choice. I personally still like the old smoothy C6OZ-6250B cam, which is the '66-'68 GT 390 and 428 CJ shaft. A good electronic ignition and FPA/Crites headers(Of course the '65-up Galaxie 427 exhaust manifolds are nice but they're bringing big bucks.) A stock '66 428 moved these cars nicely but the improvements you plan will really make some power.
This thread, so far...
