    Less than five seconds
    0 to 60 mph.
    Congrats for the good driving, not tearing or slippering the rear wheels.
    You really love and treat your Falcon like a king or a queen, not mistreating it.

    Very good work young man! I just bought a 68 Falcon with a 200 inline 6 in it that I'm gonna "fix up" into a daily driver. I'm going to pull the engine and Trans and rebuild them and pretty up the engine bay while I'm doing that. It's currently Silver with red interior and the interior is such good shape except the dash pad so I'm thinking I'm just going to redo the dash myself and dye the rest of the interior Tan or Camel Brown so I can change the color of the car because I absolutely HATE silver and the car needs to body worked and painted anyway, as far as paint goes I'm going to buy 3 quarts of AC Orange and 1 quart of Fiat Brown Tractor Paint and mix it together to create a custom Burnt Orange, I know I know.... Tractor paint? Yes Tractor paint, it's ALOT cheaper than regular Auto paint and it ALOT more durable than regular Auto paint, and I'm not building a 500 point restoration, I'm building a cool car that I can daily drive yet be legit enough take to a Cruise-in, Cars and Coffee or local car show on the weekend.

    Amazing Falcon. I’m in the process of build and new power plant for. My 68 Falcon. 408 Stroker paired with a Lentec 4R70W Street Terminator transmission. What headers did you end up using? Like you said in the video, there are not many after market mods we can get off the shelf. And to make matters worse I am located in Canada.
    Cheers

      It came from a 68 Mustang it wasn't from a kit, but I think modern Driveline makes a kit for our cars now (back in the day they didn't). I also recommend getting a firewall reinforcement bracket - MDL has that too. My firewall cracked right after I upgraded to the McLeod RXT twin disc. Might as well do it now

      Thanks for chiming in. Yeah, that's widely known for its idle only, but it still runs hard. This motor is no longer in the car. It's been stepped up to a 750 horse 430W. The new motor is built for nitrous. Mostly street driven, and it has a lot healthier cam and valve train!
