wagon looks good! 347 roller and a 5speed would be cool.

The six will get you plenty of tickets...watch that "getting parts for it" six cylinder sickness, it comes on fast.

The six will get you plenty of tickets. What the hell is a 3.3? Oh... ya, a 200cid. 7 main bearings of fun! They put a "big block" 250 c.i.d. (what is that, like a 4.1?) in some of the Granada's. Hint. haha. I'm not sure it would fit under the hood, deck height was taller. The K-frame is different on an inline six cylinder car from what I'm told, so a 302 isn't a "drop in." Nice rides either way, watch that "getting parts for it" six cylinder sickness, it comes on fast.

It's a real pain when those pesky aliens move in under the dash!

Good luck with the cars...you've got a deep streak of Ford blue for sure.

The wagon is cool! On your Fairlane, think about ditching the stock struts with these http://www.streetortrack.com/Street-...-pr-16135.html

And the spring perches with these http://www.streetortrack.com/Roller-...-pr-19632.html

The struts will make setting caster a lot easier but even more important it'll keep the car straight under braking. The roller perches make for a smoother acting suspension and last a lot longer then the rubber version.

That AOD has a pretty tall 1st gear, 2.4:1 iirc. The 5.0 guys would run a 4:11 gear to run about equal to the T5 guys with 3.27 gear. The T5 has a 3.35 1st gear that makes a big difference. even with a tall rear gear.

Love the wagon, been looking for one on and off they are hard to find. What's under the hood?

[G-DAWG]

I broke the altenator so I have to fix that and also the front tie rod bushings to be able to go cruising down Telegraph this weekend

Don't have a C4, I wish it would be faster! And you can still here the exauhst note over the radio I don't have a full exauhst system on it

[milner351]

Why do you need a stereo with such a nice engine exhaust note to listen to?

LOL

C6? I thought you were going to run a C4?

[G-DAWG]

I replaced the Kenwwod radio with a Dual for USB and AUX plug ins and it is newer radio.
