![Post Post](./styles/acidtech/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) Ford Galaxie or Fairlane for Maddy
Maddy has decided she wants a cool classic car.
She really likes 1966 Fairlane or galaxie but her favorite is 67 galaxie.
So I'm on the slow prowl for a project that would ideally have come with small block rather than FE motor.
The plan would be to transplant 5.0 and harness from my Bronco and get a 2WD 4R70W to put in the hot rod.
Which clears the way for me to get going on 351 OBDII for the Bronco.
Let the fun begin.

There's one in my neighbor's yard.Been sitting for years.It's an FE car.Could be had pretty cheap I think. If you were to put a Crown Vic front end and a small block in it would be bad ass.

Here's a '67 in Ault with a small block. I think he's asking a little too much for a non-running car.
There's also this one. It's a big block, but also a 500XL. A little more reasonable.
Love the Galaxies. One of my dream cars is a '66 7 Litre. Drove a '65 post coupe in high school and almost bought a 63 1/2 XL before I bought my Bronco.

Or this...saw it yesterday when I was looking at Torinos. Probably on the expensive side, but a really nice GTA.

Big block though...looks to be a 390. Has air and is a more restore-able type. Love the color.

All I know is that if I see a 16 year old girl driving that thing, I will be driving or running as fast as I can in the opposite direction. That thing takes up some serious space and for a first time driver-- I hope those bumpers are made out of rubber!!

![Post Post](./styles/acidtech/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) Re: Ford Galaxie or Fairlane for Maddy
Eck, your sounding like my wife. She is totally against the idea of getting a classic for her. Maddy and I out voted her. Plus it will get hydro boost brakes and all new steering linkage, etc.
Meanwhile, I'm not very familiar with these cars but trying to learn. Does anyone know what is involved in putting a small block / Windsor in a car that originally came with a big block / FE ?
The FE is considerably bigger but I'm wondering if it is as simple as different motor mounts or an a dapter kit like Johnny Cash used ?
If it's that simple it really creates options for me. I could take the FE 390 and C6 and stuff it into the 57 Fairlane, put the 5.0 out of my Bronco in the Galaxie, and put that bad ass 351 in my Bronco.
Man, that sounds like a lot of work doesn't it ?
