For those who know (or actaully care) i am restoring a 67 Galaxie Fastback.
And have decided to replace the 390 with a more pleasant 428, i just needed a bit more toque:rol:
Useless info for some, but the Galaxie 428 wasn't called a 428 it was called a 7 Litre.
I'm getting happier about this project and hope to have her back in a few weeks.
Thanks to the home insulation grant, getting parts out of containers has slowed up and that put us about a month behind.
If i don't get this thing back together soon i will change my mind again and put an even bigger motor in it.

:bow:
Pictures, we want pictures :smile:
Slow down Dave .....whats the hurry, a 9 litre is just a few months away!
Dave, that's great. Upgrading to a Pontiac 428 will be fantastic.
Ok, enough of being a smart ar**, I have a question. The americans have spelled this word like this 'litre' and like this 'liter'.
What's the correct spelling for the 7 litre/liter Ford engine??
so it should go quicker than 68PONY hay???
Chris they spell it litre, like us.
The 428 was suppose to be more street friendly than the 427 which started to get a bit out there for stock street cars.
Joe, i dont think i would catch the pony, i have a few extra hundred pounds to get moving(and stopping).

Its about time you Pony people got the balls to put a decent engine in your ford! But I would go for a 427 sideoiler or go for a 514cuber!

Yeh but i don't have the budget for a side oiler:mad:
I think you can take the 428 to 540CI.

Sounds like it is going to be one mother Galaxie :smile:
428 is FE motor...right? It should not be too hard to fit a 429SCJ with tunnel port heads to make it a killer ride though... :zip:
