The engine (the main reason I bought the car) is an early 60's 352 that was sonic checked, bored .110 and a 390 crank and rods added, the rotating assembly was balanced and uses 390 heads fron a 63 T-Bird with new valves and hardened seats. It is topped with a 63 T Bird Tri-Power thats been coverted to Rochester carbs and Factory cast iron shorty headers. The distributor is a mallory dual point, but that will likely be changed to a uni-lite.
I'm going 60s era sleeper/streetracer with it, black (SHINEY) on the outside, with a red bench seat interior, steel wheels with dog dish caps. The changes to the interior will be limited to a Mr Gaskget Floor shifter (the one that looks like an old 4 spd floor shift), a tach on the steering column and a guage tri mounted to the bottom of the dash.
Just you basic old full size Ford. Too bad Boyds so busy, I guess I'll have to just do it myself

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
