Thanks Black Vert, Yes I know a little about the 351. My best friend from high school is a huge fan of the 351 Cleavland engine. He has owned several Torinos and a 70 or 71 Mach I. He currently has a whole 351 Cleavland engine for $250 that he has left over. The little Falcon should scoot...

I live in Moulton Alabama so I am only a few miles from Jakes Dragstrip. It is an old track and have not been there in many years. It is under new management starting this year so I am curious to how the track is and if it has been updated. Welcome to Jakes Dragstrip Hollis

I am using the 94 Mustang cluster from my parts car in my 61 Falcon build. Can I remove this gear and turn back the odomoeter to all 000000's? I would like to start out at all 000000 since it will be a new car when I am done. hehehe

Thanks 94 GT. It has been a while since I have been on here. I have been working on the body and frame. Im in the middle of doing a mini tub at the moment. Have to have some meat back there. Plus I have to beaf up the frame rails some for the added horse power and torque. Also since I have...

Ragtop, I will have 8-10k in my build and if I add turbos its gonna be even more. Yes I could buy a nice Mustang thats already built for the same amount of money but its just not the same as building something from the ground up just the way you envision it. My Falcon will be unique and a one...

George, If you figure out a way to get sponsors or investors for a dream car build please share with the rest how to do it. lol If you plan to race it you may can get someone to invest in you? Is this to be a daily driver? Race car? Or dream car? Read this it may help 351 Engine Swap - 5.0...

George, We all love to see auto enthusiast, especially new/young ones. However if you want to build something that isnt stock then no one can give you a list of step by step instructions and parts list. This is a CREATION of YOURS. It is something that you are planning to give life to. It is...

What year is the 5.4 and computer? It should be a pretty simple swap. I dont know your level of experience so it always depends on that plus your patience for trouble shooting. Mechanically speaking it will be a pretty simple swap. Not sure about the drive shaft length but should be easy enough...

Thanks everyone. I figured out my next step. I have centered everything on the floor pan and will custom fab the frame rails from the Mustang and Falcon together. I will also be adding torque boxes along the sides to give the little Bird some added strength. I feel this will give better...

I have a 1961 Falcon that I am placing a floor pan and fire-wall from a 1994 Mustang into. The problem I have is that if I line the frame rails up the rest of everything is way over on the passenger side, if I line everything up then the frame rails are way off. Im just wondering if it could be...

Thanks BlackVert for the link. It does encourage me to see someone build what I want to build and have success and be impressed with the end result. His project definately gave me some new ideas and some things to look out for. I appreciate you following my thread and giving good advice...

I have thought of that but there is just very little room in the Falcon. It is the same width at the frame rails as a Mustang but the inner fender wells are about 3-4 inches narrower at the top and they have a straight slant from the bottom to the top vs the straight over and then slant of the...

If you're looking for a less expensive turbo and want to run trins why not go remote mounted turbo? Squires Turbo Systems - Turbocharged Innovation! Hollis

Guys lets not get into a pissing contest here. Good advice and questioning the theory of something is fine but no need to throw wrenches across the garage. I have been looking into possibilities on how to pipe in a turbo for my 5.0 in the Falcon and am leaning now toward a remote located...

I understand what you mean about responsibility of parts and labor. However this is a dream build from the ground up. If I wanted to go with that philosophy I would have had experts do the whole car. I want to build this all myself when I am confident in my ability to figure it out. Some things...

I have been trying to figure out how I would pipe in a turbo and where to locate it. I am still down to the frame so I have to plan now for any mods I will need to make so I can do all of that before painting. Anyone have any ideas? Remember that the inner fender-wells are narrower than that...

I know I need to beef up the AODE. Im leaning toward the Interceptor kit Ford-AODE.com the Ultimate AODE / 4R70W Performance Transmission Website Im not real knowledgeable about what stall speed would work best. Im looking at Eaton, Detroit, or Ford Racing 31 spline differential. Would a 31...

What do you guys suggest when it comes to building the transmission and rear-end to put those horses to the ground?

Bullitt95, I think you are correct in your assertation on the effect of forced induction and the fuel mileage of a naturally asperated 5.0. Your last statement is exactly what I am looking for. By the way, my favorite pet when I was a child was a mixed breed dog that was extremely smart, a...

Thanks BlackVert I will take a look.
