My cars gonna be big-block STUNNIN'!
I picked up this 428 cj today for my Fairlane. It was built for a cobra kit car when the guy found a (real)427 so. The motors just broken in & makes 400hp & 430tq here at altitude. I also got an oem 428 bellhousing & flywheel & full mallory ign(might swap to msd).

Looks like a 66 fairlane . I would probably spend some money on doing work to the heads getting them to flow better .
Edit : kinda looks like the engine was done up already .

so, now that you have the bellhousing and flexplate, are you gonna turn it into a 4 speed? i found this company that makes clutch set-ups for all cars, im buying one for my monte carlo (so i can put the tremec 6speed in it). they come with everything you need to convert your car into a standard, including the pedals.

I'm just gonna keep the c6 for now(after sealing some leaks) I'm holding out for a tko500 for the right price. Quicktime sells an fe to t-5(tko500) bellhousing. I'm gonna run a hydraulic clutch set up. Just grabbed the picker earlier, gonna paint it tomorrow & buds are helping toss it in sun.

There were a few fairlane 500's that came from the factory with 427's . I think you're gonna have more problems with the shock towers ,
more than the steering parts .

390.427.428 all are physically the same size(all ford fe's). The driver side collector is in the way, but I'll fab a drop bracket that should fix that.
