I've got a completely rebuilt 289 Hi-Po I'd love to drop in it. It would be as big a death trap as the original V-8 Mustang. The same was true of most of the 60s "muscle cars". They were fast but they handled like a grocery cart full of concrete. Oh, good god..... They real POS. NCR had a fleet of Falcon station wagons in 1963. Edsel Ford was on our BOD. Paint came off, had to add outside oilers to the lifters. Same problem and fix my 1956 Ford Convertible had. A double 90 degree oil passage via the head gasket, that plugged with the least amount of deposit. Plus very poor brakes. Also, sense we were in Calif, a lot of the cars previously sold here did not have heaters. Luckily the government required defrosters in 1963 and therefore the Falcon had a heater. |
