1964 Falcon Futura two door sedan.
 

Purchased sight-unseen in 2013 from neighbor at Sears Point Raceway. No engine or trans, minimal interior. Shipped to Oz two days later when my wife and I relocated.
I had a LOT of Chevy parts already here with the intention of building a '68 Camaro Sunoco recreation, but figured the '64 Falcon would be a period correct towing vehicle for my '64 IMCA Midwest sprint car (and a hitch on a racecar would be so wrong!).
I was prepared to make the build bigger than it really needed to be as I was retired, and had the time and reasonable skills.

First priority was installing the SBC...350 with cam, mild head work and blueprint. Custom headers. That weird housing on the carb houses the propane mixer mounted on a Holley 4160 squarebore base. Edelbrock dual plane intake. Cam and ignition timing optimized for propane so zero loss of power.
Coolant pump is Davies Craig electric, which removes 10# of ugly cast iron from over the front wheels. This setup requires thermostat to be removed so that pump is not dead-headed before engine gets to operating temp. Pump is mounted where the steering box used to be. Some pics show a narrow radiator from supercharged v6 Jaguar that turned out to be inadequate. Now has four core aluminum with shroud and single electric fan. Runs great.
Engine accessories are alternator, a/c compressor and p/steer pump. Mounting brackets are my own design lasercut blanks tig-welded and bolted to existing SBC tapped holes. Alternator bracket blanks off the old fuel pump opening. Packaging required the alternator belt to run over a Subaru tensioner INSIDE OUT.....probably the first time ever attempted, fingers still crossed on that one!
Engine paint colors are a nod to Ford's 260/289..... I tell some confused folks that it's a Ford Marine engine, that seems to calm them down a little.

Early days...
