That's awesome! What a deal you got very well done!

This is a Great thread! Build the car you want to Drive!

Makes me feel a whole lot better about my plans to put a new R&C front end in my '64 and then drop a fuel-injected Cleveland in it...getting excited just thinking about it.

Man, that Motor looks Sweet!

Where'd you get the Serpentine belt kit? & Who makes it? I would like to do the same for my Cleveland.

It sure is an appealing option if you can get Limited-slip, a 3.73 and Disc brakes all for a good salvage yard price.

Tks Cary,

So for planning purposes, how much Wider/Taller/Longer did you need to make the new tunnel-hump?

Hi Cary, First of all what an awesome car you guys have built! Just WOW! I see you went with the T56 Magnum, how do you like it and how easily did that install go? I'm planning on a manual transmission (from a C4) for my '64 and was thinking about the T5z just because it seemed the easiest swap to m...

A good read on the subject of swapping in an 8.8" into an old Ford/Mercury...

Hey Guys,

What company makes the Coil-over shocks and about how much do they run for(a '64 comet)? I went to the Summit website, entered the car and it showed No listings .
Are they adjustable to help raise the back of the car to help w tire clearance? Tks.

Thanks Tristan. That's a relief. So much to do to it.

Hey I see you're from Monck's Corner. I was born in Camden and Dad's family came from Greenville; & Mom's from Springfield (Orangeburg Cty).

Welcome Eric,

I'm a newb' myself and just starting to get into the Comets. Glad to have more Mercury fans and owners here to share our projects with.

So what motor/transmission is in your Cyclone?

Tks California! That's some great info. From what I've been reading over on Modern Driveline, I wouldn't be able to use a TKO trans in a '64 Comet (Falcon) w/o having to drastically cut out (modify) the Hump, which is probably more drastic a job than I would want to bite off. But they also have a bi...

Gents, Im considering how difficult it would be to replace the '64 instrument cluster and chrome dash bezels with the ones from a '65. Is this a too hard to do swap or would it be fairly straight forward? Not that I'm any good with wiring but I got a friend or two who are pretty good at it. :wink: I...

Hey PBJ, From the pics of the car, it appears like someone already cut a hole in it further back than the original stick shift hole should've been. So I doubt I'll need to much more cutting on the hump. As far as seat, (i'm 6'0") I'm prolly going to junk the current seats (they look rough!) and inst...

Just came across this CL listing in IA

Would need a lot of work or a possible parts car...
