[fekbmax]

Welcome Brian, your now a member of the best FE sight on the web. No BS here, just good info and advice with lots of great FE guys.
Nice ride, man it brings back memories.  A old high school girlfriends dad had one of those. He let us use it several times while I had the 390 out of my 66 Galaxie 500. If he only knew hat we did in the roomy back seat of that thing, he may have choked me lol.
Anywhoo, enjoy the fourm.

did the head liner get the worst of it ?

i thought i would post a link to a before and after video after installing bbm heads,rpm intake,slicks and hooker coated headers.i only got to go through 2 gears on the after video and i knew traffic was ahead so i didnt turn too many rpms either.might not seem quicker in the video,but believe me you can tell the diff when you drive it,even at lower speeds

nothing special,just an old junker going down the road.not that quick in the real world,but it will smoke nearly everything street driven in my area

LOL, Brian!! I thought it tore the tires up pretty good in the first video! Hard to tell in a video, so what does your seat-of-the-pants tell you? Can you feel an honest difference? One thing I'll say for sure, I like the sound of it much better in the 2nd video!

the first video i had street tires and it got up on the limiter because of that but the second video i have my slicks on and that kept it from hitting the limiter but i can feel it pulling harder even at part throttle.i got to try it out later in high gear,it felt like i was in a time warp.real happy with the swap.i may sell my cj heads and pi intake,i wont be needing them anymore

if you ever want to get another one,i hear the extra couple feet of length behind the back wheels of a 66-67 comet makes them hook better than the fairlane or mustang.i know mine hooks good.thats just what i heard,i am not that technical minded so i cant argue the point.

thank you John,i try to get all i can out of what i have,thats all i can do.

i took my slicks and front runners off for the winter.i had a old set of gt wheels in my barn.i put 4 215/70/14 tires on them and stuck them on my comet for winter driving.i didn't know it was going to be this much fun.those small tires will spin in any gear at any time.super fun!!!
