1964 Ford Galaxie Fastback Drag Car, this car is not street legal so please don't ask.
Engine: 460 bored .30 with D0VE heads ported and polished
Transmission: 4500 Stall Converter ,C6 with shift kit, B&M shifter
Rearend: 9 inch 5:00 gears with mini spool
Front suspension: Stock but I put new springs from a 1964 Ford air conditioner station wagon to support the big block
Rear suspension: It has the traction bar setup from Crites Restoration (like what the NHRA used back in the day) and the shocks are mounted for coil over springs. The leaf springs are still there because the coil overs have not been mounted yet. It would be very easy to finish.
Body: This is an older paint job and the hood would need to be painted again as the clear started to peel off. Lexan glass has been installed everywhere except for the windsheild which is stock. The front bumper is a fiberglass one purchased from Crites Restoration while the rear bumper is original. Hood, deck lid, and all the trim pieces are original as well.
Time: The car runs 7.50's in the 1/8 mile.
I won a lot of races with this car including 5 races the first year I ran it and won the points championship and the Gold Card Shootout at my home track.
It does need some work, the passenger side axle broke the last time it was ran but I do have the replacement axle that goes with the car and would be simple to fix. The headers are rusted and would need to be replaced. Everything else is in working order and the car starts up and runs fine. I would replace the Lexan in the car as it is 10 years old and looks cloudy, (maybe someone knows how to buff this out but I was unable to do so). Look at the pictures and ask any questions as I am sure I left something out.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
