Drivers license info....IMPORTANT!

Check your drivers license...Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all!
Thanks Homeland Security! Privacy, where is our right to it?

I definitely removed mine, I suggest you all do the same.....Maybe we should start up a petition or something protesting this. What do you think?

Go to the website and check it out. Just enter your name, City and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove".

This will remove it from public viewing, but not >From law enforcement.

Jon,

I will have to add that one to my list of funny sites. Maybe we should start a collection of these type sites and see how many we can come up with.

Told ya it got the gears a' turnin... all I need is everything!

Mike,

Good to see that you are still around. We were wondering about you. The 63 Sprint was a nice car. Everything that you want for the car is available. What you need is MONEY$$$$$..

Kristen thought I would pop in to say "Hey, Little Cobra"

I've been following Kristen's problems in getting the lettering done on her tires in time for Tulsa. A lot of time and effort there.

It finally dawned on me that it could end up being to her benefit and the other guys on the track problem.

Without the white lettering she won't be slowing down in the corners to show them to the corner workers or slowing down going by the pits pointing them out to everyone.

So what that means is Kristen will be focused on driving hard and fast.

Unless she decides to show off those new blue tennis shoes instead.

Hmm, I don't know about you, but if I were to see a blonde driving a
blue with white striped cobra with a blue tennis shoe'd foot hanging over
the door I think I'd be moving out of the way!

Lil Mike--what condition? 289 or 289 HI-PO? Auto or toploader? I've been looking for a "decent" 63 1/2 Sprint Coupe for a couple of years. I may be interested .....if you don't decide to buy it.

Sprint Coupes were only made from about April to September of '63, thus the designation '63 1/2(best body design of the Falcon IMO). Most were delivered with 3-spd autos and a standard 289, some though were ordered with the HI-PO and either a auto or a toploader. My cousin still has his that he got in HS in '69 and has had rebuilt top to bottom and won't sell....dimmit

If you buy it paint it one color not two...they look IMO opinion ugly two-tone. And go with the non-chrome Torq-Thrusts, better period look. But If it is your car do whatever...'cuz it IS your car

Flip,

Kristen probably bought two pairs of the Blue tennis shoes. And a sign to hang on the car pointing out the nice new white letters. she will hang the 2nd set of Blue shoes on the outside of the car so everyone can see what she is wearing.

G.R.

There aren't many 1963-1965 Falcons or Comets left in this area. I saw a few,( four), really nice ones at the car shows but never see any on the road except my 65 and it sure isn't a show car as the paint has all of the parkinglot battle scars. I was going to have it painted, but just can't wait the one to two years to get it back.

Sprints only had 289's? That makes it a 2 Door sedan then because it has the Six banger and a 2 speed auto.

Maybe ill just put a 350 with a turbo 350 trans in it.... Yea Right!

WE ARE GOOD TO GO!!!!

Ron61 · #13 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 02:07 PM

Mike,

If I remember correctly, the 63 Sprint had sprint in chrome script on it. Nice little car with the standard 289 and 4 speed. Wish I had one now. I tried one out and opted for a Galaxie with a 390. Bad choice.

Ron

LwCwb · #14 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 05:02 PM

So you went to the dealer looking for a dinghy, and ended up buying a land yaht?

Going to Carlisle tomorrow, Boss 429's, 351's, and 302's. Hehe, and all the cars are FORD! What could be better?

Wish me luck on my search for the engines....

Blykins Anyone in here: What are the casting numbers for the Early 351/302 Block? Got my Ford engine book from PAW today (After 6 Months of waiting

)

blykins · #15 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 06:30 PM

What do you need Mike? Block cast numbers for 302/351 blocks? And how early? If you're wanting a good block for rebuilding.....60's and early 70's is what you're wanting...

C8 is the earliest I can find for a 302...
C8TE's were truck blocks....

C9 is the earliest I can find for a 351W.

Of course you know a 351W has a lot taller deck height than a 302....so you can tell the difference that way....

LwCwb · #16 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 06:43 PM

Thanks Brent, thats what I was looking for, late 60's early 70's. If we find a well priced 302, I want to get a 347 Stroker kit for it, so It will have to take a .030 over-bore... if we find a 351... im thinking of a 408-418, maybe with a .060 Over-bore.

blykins · #17 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 07:08 PM

Mike, I wouldn't settle for a 302....go for the 351. You'll be happier in the long run. There are lots of arguments against such a long stroke (in either a 302 block or a 351 block). Using that 347 kit would be less reliable in the long run (most likely a really really long run...but still) than a shorter stroked 351....such as a 392 or a 408. You'll get lots more power out of the Windsor for less effort.....and less rpm's.....

I'm running a 79 block .060" over with a 4.100" stroke.....no problems...knock on cast iron....I picked probably the wrong cam for my combo (at the advice of Comp Cams) and I'm still making 491 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.....It makes all its gusto at 5400 rpm....vs. a 6500-7000 rpm peak for a 302 based stroker.

My personal opinion....but I think you'd be better off with the bigger block.....

LwCwb · #18 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 07:28 PM

It all depends on what we dig up.. last year we found a Complete 351 out of a 80's Truck for $100 at Carlisle.... like they say, theres no replacement for cubic displacement. Im worried that I won't be able to find headers for the 351 since its so tight around the shock towers on the early Falcons, its been done though.

What heads are you running? I would like to have a 500+ lift cam in it... it will be a street/strip car... probably be doing the engine for my Sr. Project for high school.

If the falcon sells before I can get the dough, one of my friends has a go-cart chassis sitting in his back yard

blykins · #19 (**permalink**) 06-04-2005, 07:38 PM

Mike, headers should be your last worry.....there are tons of header kits out there.....you just piece them together and weld them up. Custom headers.

I'm running Vic Jr cylinder heads. I ordered them bare and assembled them with the correct valve springs, shims, retainers, etc. Also, I don't know if this is true for all Edelbrock heads, but the ones I have seen don't have spring cups on them....so I put those on as well.

I'm using a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam....230 degree duration, .544 lift, 110 lobe separation. I should have went with the biggest roller cam they make.....Desktop Dyno estimated a 57 hp increase with my heads and intake. I have a lot of faith in DD...it was only 2 hp off from the actual dyno results.

Also, from my research in dynamic compression ratios, I could have went another half point in compression with my cam selection.....could have went 11:1 and still run on 93....

Like I said before, don't settle.

If they can put a small block Ford in a Sunbeam Tiger, you can put a Windsor block in that Sprint.

Thanks for all the help Brent, your a wealth of knowledge! Hows the Cobra coming along?
