About my Falcon

This is my 1967 Ford Falcon.  The car was purchased new by my mother on 5/29/67.  I got it in 1974 and have been driving it (beating on it?) since then.  I do all the work on the car - engine build, transmission, rear end, suspension, paint, wiring, fabrication - basically built the car a couple of times.  The engine for the last few years was a 351C with 2V heads, 9.3:1, small 226/230 Crane cam, Parker Funnelweb intake and a 650DP.  Best ET with that engine was 7.75 @ 88 in the 1/8 mile.  After 2000 passes, that motor was freshened and put in our Mustang.  Trans is a C4 with a reverse manual valve body.  A 9" with Richmond 4.56 gears and Mark Williams axles finishes the connection to the track.  New for 2007 is a roll bar, a fresh 351C 4V (in the works - still...) and a new converter.  The car has evolved from a driver to mostly race.  It's not the fastest thing at the track, but it goes rounds.  Since our local track opened in 2003, I've made about 2300 passes in it.  I think the contingency stickers are holding it together now.  The car is a winner - 2007 footbrake champ, 2007 over all points champ, Summit Super Series champ 4 times over.
Update - Sept 2007.  New 351C in the car.  10.5:1, 4V heads, Funnelweb, 650DP, 238 Crane solid flat.  H-beam rods, flat top Probe pistons and a neutral balance stock crank hold up the bottom end.  Car has run the best of 7.28 @ 93+ in the 1/8 mile.

Four-door Falcon Racing!  We should start our own club  

I love seeing uncommon cars, with uncommon performance.
