Default Hey Everyone!

Hello everyone I found this forum while I was snooping round the net and thought I would check it out and it seems to be a pretty good site. There doesn't seem to be much of the drama/bs arguments that plague forums so I joined up.

Not much to me really, I've been into cars since I was old enough to grab hotwheels cars off the shelves at walmart. Got my first car at 16 when I graduated from highschool, a 1990 7-UP Edition LX 5.0 Mustang. A few months ago I got my second car a 1962 Ford Falcon with a 302 and a C4.
Aside from cars I like guns and gaming and my other hobby is sittin on ***.

Hope to talk to you all and hopefully avoid any major arguments.

Welcome to FordForum 7UPMustang..

Hope you were only grab'n the Ford Hotwheels

My sisters old boyfriend had a 62 Falcon. Had a 427 in it with huge slicks. It was all engine, and the battery was nested in the truck. First car I ever did a 'wheels up' in. Come to think about it, the ONLY one! Every time someone mentions a Falcon, it always takes me back to that car and experience for a kid of 15...

I had a 62 Falcon, sold it in 2003 for $5,200 with 300,000 miles. What a good car.

Default Ford Falcon engine swap

Hello, I'm new here too.


I just bought a 1962 Ford Falcon with a Ford 170 L6. The car is set up for a manual and needs a ton of work.


Don't tell the guys up top but I am only 17 and was hoping to get some advice.


I want to upgrade to a V8 (a 221, 260 or 289). I know that everything 260 and bigger takes a 5 or 6 bolt bell housing but I cannot find any info on what transmission to look for or even a transmission for that matter. Do you have any input? The car is 3 on the tree.


I have my eyes on a 221 and a 289 on craigslist. What models of transmissions should I look for?


This is my first project car.


Thank you.
