Yes, they are the Gas-A-Just.  I think they were $36 per shock 4-5 years ago.  Summit has them at $39 right now.

Yes, your complete engine/trans assy will fit. You may need to do  something 
with the rear trans mount, though. Then again, maybe not. If you have  the 
rear trans mount from the donor, that is even better. There are 3 versions,  
depending on power train.

The C8 part number indicates it has the wider spacing of the studs.  You 
would want a matched set.
  Once you remove the manifold, you can get it planed flat. Do not use  those 
fiber and metal gaskets. They are the worst. Get solid copper or the Fel  Pro 
plug wire shield type, part number MS 95000, I believe.
 NAPA has them too, under their own number.

Subject: [GALAXIE] SOHC block
Message-ID: <be5.3900f872.35cb5739@aol.com>

 
I have some questions for the Ford experts, especially those that know the  
original SOHC motors.  I am trying to substantiate if a 427 block is a  cammer 
block.  I am looking for undisputable proof.  The motor is a  1966, side 
oiler, solid lifter block.  The engine was supposedly originally  in a 1966 Cobra.  
I have been told that some of the cammer blocks were used  in noncammer 
applications as conventional 427s.  The block has the drilled  oil galley in the 
rear of the deck, that has been plugged.  I was under the  impression that only 
the SOHC blocks had this feature.  Is that the  case?  Also, are there any 
numbers or letters stamped or forged in the  block that would be only on a SOHC 
block?  I was told by one source that  all the SOHC blocks had a QEC # stamped 
on the lower front pad of the  block.  I don't know what that means, but does 
it make any sense to you who  know these engines. I am looking for any 
literature that would verify any of  this or anyone that knows how to identify a SOHC 
block without any doubt.   I would appreciate any info you guys can give me 
here or on the phone or  recommend anyone to me that would have this 
information.  My email address  is _Rhosner at aol.com_ (mailto:Rhosner at aol.com)

HI, 

SOHC is based upon a short block assembly almost identical to the wedge side-oiler 427. 
The major difference is pair of bosses cast into the rear of each cylinder bank and drilled to allow oil to run back to the pan from heach head. 

Block color coding (what ever that means) is for SOHC Blue/Green,  No other cast numbers / codes in that book...

(from book Ford Performance by Pat Ganahal, 1979)

I have a 1967 country squire that I would like to change from an auto to a manual shift. My question is regarding the pedal set up. If I buy the manual pedals will they work with the bracket currently in place with the auto - or would I need to find the manual pedal bracket as well. 
 
thanks

The bracketry is the same. The dual pedal setup pivots from the same  place.
  However, changing from auto to stick is not only a lot of work, it  also 
involves acquiring all the pieces, such as that hard to find and expensive  Z 
bar, all the pivots, linkages, etc.
  Before you even think about this, search for the parts.
  You may want to leave it as is, unless you can locate a complete  parts 
donor with a stick, and the SAME power train. A 289 stick setup would not  be a 
donor for an FE stick setup.
  The bell housing size makes some of these parts different.

Dennis,

I successfully did this conversion on my 67 Galaxie 500. I converted from a FMX/390 to stick. I love it and would be willing to answer any questions. The conversion was not easy but if you really want a stick it can be done.

If you have any questions just email me off the list.

PS: I have decided to dispose of 'all' the 'automatic' parts that I removed in the conversion. If anyone needs anything in that department let me know. 

Mike

The tbird swing away steering wheel conversion is not only possible without buying a new dash but it was published, step by step, in the galaxie extravaganza edition of Legendary Ford Magazine, mid last year, aug/sept issue, i believe.

I have two copies so if you are in need of one let me know, im sure we can work something out

  The tbird swing away steering wheel conversion is not only possible without buying a new dash but it was published, step by step, in the galaxie extravaganza edition of Legendary Ford Magazine, mid last year, aug/sept issue, i believe.

  I have two copies so if you are in need of one let me know, im sure we can work something out

    Find a 63/64 Galaxie swing away steering wheel. Occasionally you'll see one on ebay.

No, the swingaway dash is TOTALLY different by the steering wheel 
attachment area from a regular dash. I know because I have one and have had 
it out of the car. The steering column is different, there is a bracket 
that goes on to the steering box and you have to have a certain steering 
wheel box for it to work, the seal at the floor is different, the column is 
different, the dash bezel is different and the dash itself is cut out and 
has a number of moving parts to attach to make it work.

AND I'd avoid it like the plague. I HATE MINE!

Mark,   you can take off easily that piece (cam?) what releases column movement.. 
Like I did..    My system works ok although,   I have wrong shiter , that will damage my dash padding, 
so I can`t use swing-away. 

IS your car is also orginally eqquiped with that swing-away setup, like mine ????
That blue xl500 convertible with some "golden" parts ?

Message-ID: <c9a0106b0808251054y80b8306iec3a15d736b197e4@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get an engine frame mount (aka engine
perch or engine support bracket) for a 66 Galaxie convertible to fit a
69 390 FE engine. The galaxie last had a small block in it. I have the
motor mounts on the block of the 390, I just need the correct frame
mounts on the car to mate up.

I'm a newbie, so any information

Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,
As you may or may not know, any 1965 through 1968 full size Ford or Mercury
car that was factory equipped with an FE would have the proper frame mounts
you are after. Maybe this will expand your search.

Sadly, I don't have any at this time. Don't throw away the sb frame mounts. 
Those
sell on evilBay just as well as the FE version.

I can't actually speak for the '66 frame, but I had the same situation with my '64 - it came with a 289 and I wanted a 390. The beauty of it is the mount pionts welded to the frame were for the FE so all I had to do was bolt it down. No extra bracket or special mounts needed. 
If you are able to, you may want to bolt a pair of mounts to a 390 block and see if it fits just the way it is.

Welding is not really an option.
  You get the correct brackets that bolt to the frame cradle. They fit  in 
the same holes.
  I MAY have a set, but would have to dig deep in the pile of  goodies.
  Getting at those bolts and nuts is a pain. I have found it easier to  pull 
the shock absorbers out, to get access to the underside.
  Unbolting them from the top only does not work, once you break them  loose, 
the whole thing just spins.
You need a wrench on the bottom side, to unthread them.
  My brother in law is very good at snaking a wrench and his hand up  there, 
but his hands are much smaller than mine.

I found a pair or perches from someone on FordMuscle forums. And after
looking at the original mounts, I know what you mean about them being
a bear to change. Can't wait! (sarcasm :-) As far as which approach to
take... I'm not sure, I'll have to play that by ear.
Thanks again!

I found a pair of perches from someone on FordMuscle forums and he was
going to send them to me. He's sending me some pics soon to see if it
looks like the bolt pattern will mate up and all that. Thanks for the
reply, as a bumbling newbie who has a lot of respect and appreciation
for auto engineering yet little knowledge, it's greatly appreciated.
I'll write back in case the other perches don't work out.

Subject: [GALAXIE] seatbelts in a 64 galaxie
Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP24792C8134B8ECFB77BFE3BE620@phx.gbl>

 

My Father purchased and restored a 64 Galaxie convertible and then decided
that the car should passed on to my 10 year old son. So I am now the
caretaker of this car. I however just cannot drive it with the kids in it
and not have seatbelts, not to mention they want their friends to come
along. 

 I have pulled the rear seat but do not see any place to install the belts
as I was told there are in some 64's. I am very new at this and would
greatly appreciate any help offered as I would prefer to do the work with my
son for all of the obvious reasons and because I am in the midst of
finishing an addition to the house and really can't afford to start paying
for installations if it is not absolutely necessary.

 

Thank you

Bill Bechard

64 Caretaker

I don't believe rear seat belts were installed in most (if any) '64's from the factory.  Pretty common install for service stations back in the 60's.  Holes were drilled through the floorpan for the install.   I can check the assembly manual to see if there are any identifying marks or dimples indicating a drilling location.  Seatbelts were not required until '68 I believe, so all cars prior have been grandfathered.  However, if you're pulled over in a car older than '68 that has seat belts, you must be wearing them.   

California law does not allow people under 16 to ride without a seatbelt, (regardless of the age of the vehicle) so my Galaxie sits most of the time now (2 kids, don't want to drill)  I may change my mind however.....would love to take the whole family out for once!
