1969 Ford FALCON

History

This is my first car. I saved up money working on the farm every school holidays from as soon as I could walk basically then left school at 15 to work full time... got it when I was 16 off the original owners son, it had a 200, column shift auto and 8 3/4” diff... I cooked the engine when I was 22,23 in doing that it was motivation to finally put the 351 in I already had for afew years hiding in the shed, after putting the 351 in I took a step back and seen a Shiny new engine in a old car, so I pulled the engine back out and undertook a 3 year Bearmetal rotisserie rebuild turning it from the original poppy car it was into a tuff street car... it now runs a full forged 351, manualised c10 and 9” with 4.11 gears

351 Windsor, forged blower pistons, ported cast gt40 heads with shaft mount rockers, custom ground pavtek cam etc

Box: is a pan filled c4 with shift kit and 3500 stall
