I am selling a 1964 Ford Falcon. The car was a shell with the frontend cut out when I purchased it. It turned out to be a 6 year project. I started by sanding body down to bare metal. I cut out all rust which was minimal. I purchased and installed a Rod and Custom Motorsport crossmember and tubular control arms along w/ steering shaft kit and purchased Flaming River u-joints. I did all bodywork and applied self etching valspar 440 primer. I purchased a 1977 Ford Mustang 2 Cobra and utilized the engine and C4 transmission, along with power rack and spindles and gas pedal and shifter. Engine was rebuilt and balanced by local speedshop. Bored to .030, new pistons and rings, bearings and crane 260h cam. Comp cams dual roller timing set. Heads were ground, all new valves, seals, springs and shimmed for height. Ford Racing stainless shorty headers which have been wrapped. Holley Contender aluminum dual plenum intake, Holley 390cfm 4160 model carb and KN filter and fuel pressure gauge. Edelbrock aluminum high volume water pump and new aluminum radiator w/ remote trans cooler. Flex-lite fan w/ therm switch preset at 180 degrees.Entire interior and undercarriage received 2 coats of POR 15 paint. Undercarriage then got 2 coats of 3m undercoating. Dash, trim panels, doors and engine compartment got 3 coats primer and 3 coats of charcoal gray acrylic enamel. Body received 3 coats primer and 5 med coats of Hotrod black acrylic urethane. New Richmond 3:00/1 gears, bearings and races in rear axle. Installed new dual reservoir master cylinder and power booster. Power brakes w/front discs and rear drums and all new shoe springs and small parts. New custom driveshaft w/ Spicer slip yoke. New front coil springs, and all new shocks at each corner. New leaf spring shackles and bushings. Front and rear sway bars. Dual exhaust w/ flex couplers and glass pack mufflers. Bucket seats, black carpet, front floor and firewall are insulated. Roll bar, Sony CD player is mounted cleanly under dash. Factory radio is still in deluxe dash and uncut.Entire car has been rewired w/ 77 fuse panel installed in steel glove compartment. New heater blower motor, plenum and defrost ducts along w/ tubing. All brake lines, fuel lines and tranny lines have been replaced w/ stainless flex lines running to calipers. Auto meter gauges, 15 gallon fuel cell. All window, door, windshield and rear window seals have been replaced except 2 vent windows. New window fuzzies. I never got around to buying interior door handles but have original stainless trim pieces. Also never found a rear bumper and just made one out of 2x2 tubular steel when car was on jackstands.Also made custom front wheel well liners from newer car to eliminate rust above headlight pods. This car turns alot of heads. I did not build it to drive to a carshow and win awards. I built it to drive with minimal maintenance and run on regular unleaded fuel. I have aprox. 5000 miles on car since it was assembled. It also has BF Goodrich radial ta's mounted on Cragar superspoke wheels that are like new. This car fires right up, and drives great with no leaks. It is sold as is with no warranty, and buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
