1969 XW Ford Falcon Restoration - Disassembly Part 2

This is the second of many chapters of the restoration of our XW Falcon. In this session, we begin to strip the car down and remove the power train. A decision is made on the choice of engine as well.

Dear Peter, One of my umpteen cars was an XR 500 6 cylinder Cruisomatic sedan, which I bought for peanuts in the mid '80's. I just loved it with it's glamorous white steering wheel with chrome horn ring, tons of space and huge thick doors. I don't need to own all my old car cars now, even though I miss all of them dreadfully, I just have to watch your continuing adventures. Cheers, Pauline Hunter

Don't stress about the noise. My 221 that I took out of mine was, by newer motor standards, as noisy. I got told by the local Ford authorities that the valvetrain was the cause. Nothing to be concerned about though.
