Looks great, Rick.  Nice to be able to pop on the Torker for the break-in...

Love the Air Cleaner.  Actually purchased the same one for my SOHC project and was able to source the "Thunder-Bird" emblem that say SOHC instead of the 427.  Awesome build!!!  I love the Falcon... little car and big engine.... worked for Shelby!

finally welded up the plenum on the tunnel ram this week.. just needs abit of touch ups then I can beadblast it. Waiting on the tig machine at work to get repaired then get the injector tubes and fittings for the rails tig'd up.

[NewFalconOwner]

got the solid cam in, valves are set, adapter and intake are on, all buttoned up. still a few things to put on, (rad, fan,alt,etc) then hopefully fire it up. Once its broken In, I will make a video if nothing drastic happens lol

[NewFalconOwner]

started the motor today, no problems at all, started right up, broke the cam in,, sounds great to me, but I used a shitty camera to record.

Good job man! You must be pumped since it started and ran so well.  Have you been able to drive her around any yet?

[NewFalconOwner]

Hope everything goes smooth for you. You either live in the country or in a deaf neighborhood. Either way that's a plus...lol

My country neighbors probably thought I was nuts when I was running my Mach up and down the road checking everything after breaking in the cam.....with no front end on the car.

[NewFalconOwner]

yeah the country,, one neighbour is a car guy, other side is never around, and across the street is a cemetery and they don't mind

[NewFalconOwner]

my tunnel ram fuel injection is almost finished..

[NewFalconOwner]

finally got my  drivers 1/4 panel and getting it put on.

here it is as it came



after cutting the wheel well and other stuff off, i placed on the car and get ready to trim and weld it up





hopefully next weekend its all tacked in place and can start on the rocker and get it all in primer

[NewFalconOwner]

few more things done to the car



shifter knob i modified for a line-loc button

[newfalconowner]

I found a Fast ez efi kit near me and picked it up. Wired the car with a new streetrod harness, wired in the efi and plumbed it all up, and started it last weekend. heres recent pictures for anyone that is sorta interested.

[newfalconowner]

I put my sidepipes on I got few yrs ago as well,, cut thru the rocker,, and now connected to my headers with 3-1/2 in flex exhaust. it runs and starts. I was going to drive it a few blocks for a car show on the weekend, plumbed my front brake lines, new calipers and hose,, and the right side caliper leaked.. needless to say I never made it





heres a video of it last weekend, using a fepower adapter and a 351C Torker intake

Sounds good. Which transmission are you running?

I have the same shift knob and also put a button in it for the line loc last year. I thought I would be the only one to have that, lol.


Love the chrome pentroofs too!
