More street, occasional strip. You always gotta check how fast it is. Everytime I step in the garage I do at least a little something. Even if for 5 minutes. One day it'll be done.poboyjo65 wrote:Doug is it going to be race only or street & strip?
You got it going on, nice pace ! I use to work for a guy, at least once every day he would state, rather loudly & just out of the blue, "professional people doing a professional job!"

Harry, Here you go. I've fitted up the FE block in the engine bay via custom front mounting plates and a mid-plate. A little roll cage work, getting the rear and tires in place, trans mount and some frame work. In no particular order here are some pics from the past month or two.

Re: Fairlaniac's 1964 FE Pro Street Project
I see you have a long shaft toploader like mine. mine came from a 70 fairlane/torino -RUG-BA & had a 31 spl output shaft, though when I decoded it said it should have a 28 spl., kinda curious how many splines yours has & what code it is. & you have about a foot for different shifter locations. It's all looking good!!
Re: Fairlaniac's 1964 FE Pro Street Project
Hey doug that's some nice work, looking good. Nice job on the backhalf . what size are the back tires.

The trans is empty, just a broken case and tail housing bolted on. It's a C6OR tail housing from a Fairlane.poboyjo65 wrote:I see you have a long shaft toploader like mine. mine came from a 70 fairlane/torino -RUG-BA & had a 31 spl output shaft, though when I decoded it said it should have a 28 spl., kinda curious how many splines yours has & what code it is. & you have about a foot for different shifter locations.

Hey doug do you have a body shop all picked out. And will you be welding in the floors, I ended up with two sheets of 16 gauge for the floor pans , driveshaft tunnel, and transmission tunnel. A lot of welding for sure.

Got it to be a roller and brought it outside for some fresh air and sunshine.
