Fresh back from Dyno!
Plan was to keep it origional 'OLD SCHOOL' |
You nailed it then, good look. Exciting times for your project!
|
And you managed to find one of the very rare fuel filter canisters . I`ve also got a restored 63 1/2 Galaxie 427 Q code .... and you are spot on with your engine !

Page 2 for the filter, 3 for the lines and bracket http://www.classicautoparts.com/pdfi...mps.pdf#page=1

That looks great, how about some dyno numbers and engine specs. Good luck.
|
Mickmate ... I should have been more specific . If you are looking for an original fule filter etc , they are hard to find and expensive . Luckily , I have an original on my Galaxie and another that I will put on my Cobra maybe next winter :o .

Those are repo canisters I believe. There have been a lot of problems with those because when they roll formed the threads they cracked causing bad leaks. All the repos I found were pulled off the shelf and weren't being sold. I was lucky to get a nicly priced OEM from a FEFORUM member in Indiana. |

For me, researching, looking for, and finding these old OEM parts is the best part of the build! Wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the 427Q! |
I`ll try to get you a picture of my 427 S/O next week .... recovering from some surgery now and am still on Oxicodone ( ? ) for the "discomfort " .... and feel kinda " loopy " .
I also see you used the correct back color for the block and heads . I`ve also got an original Sidewinder intake I`ll be playing with on the Cobra sometime in the future .... and it has " Cobra " cast on it ! Another source for vintage NOS and quality Galaxie 427 parts is a friend of mine ... Gregg Donahue in FL ... he is also a wealth of information and other sources . If you want , I`ll PM you his contact info . Bob |

Yep, kept it black. I'm even going to leave the burned off exhaust runners bare (where the paint burned off) as this was LARGELY common. I hope your recovery goes well. Better to take the pictures later...... Don't want any blury pictures.....LOL I wouldn't mind Gregg's contact info. Thanks |
