Title: Do not try this at home!
Post by: james on February 15, 2021, 08:14:18 PM

Now that I have your attention some of you might be interested to know the following.

I have a 1964 Ford Falcon with a stroked 482 Fe engine in her. I also have a Jon Kaase 429 Boss semi hemi which is really a 460 boss stroked to 572. Since the Falcon is beefed up to the max I decided to put the Boss in her. It did not work. However, it could work with a lot of cutting/modifications and getting a new hood.

I decided to put the Fe back in her. I have another almost restored car which is a 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone that the boss is going to go in and will have to beef her up as well. Actually, I'm happy to put the Fe back in. I just wanted to try it and see what happens. As the saying goes, "Why," because it's there.

That shop behind the 66 is mighty small for all that work.
Cars are nice.
