COMET CENTRAL

I've noticed there are quite a few big motor fans on this site so here's a question. In progress (slowly) of dropping a 351C/toploader into my 65 Falcon HT, and I'm trying to decide the direction to take on my 64 Comet. Nothing against the SBF, but I like my rides to be a little different. Was drooling over a 2x4 427 in a friends car yesterday and I think the FE is the way I need to go. While building the 65 I'm in the "parts gathering" mode on my 64, so thoughts on an FE install? I know towers would have to be notched, probably some tunnel work (definitely if a C6), etc but I would some to see some installed pics to get me motivated. So, any pics? pointers? General advice? Thanks in advance.

I offer only advice - have fun with it - sounds like a cool project )

Crites Restorations makes an install kit for a FE,or you can do it yourself.YES,the towers need to be notched to make room for headers and you will need to fabricate motor mounts.There are quite a few 64/65 Comets and Falcons running around with FEs in them!! Not sure if 'Falconred' or 'Mercuryjunky' have build shots on here,but they both have FE powered Comets. ROY.

Check out this thread. Lots of great build pictures.

I don't know, maybe old age!

All - Thanks for the input and the link to that beautiful 65! Looks like its time to start looking for parts . . .
