Re: If You Could go Back In Time, and Design One Performance Car.

BlueOvalralph,

I also think, that Canada was the only country that got 1965 Ford Falcon Sedans
with 289/271 HiPo engines. (7 produced)
Not K-Code, but #992 Code (Special Order)
Top-Loader 4-speed, with 9" Detroit Locker and 4.57 gears.
With 8" slicks and a few suspension tweaks, you could get all
4-wheels off the ground, when launching off the line.
Damn things ran in B/Stock in 65'
I wonder if any got the 306HP Shelby conversion, with the aluminum DP intake,
and Holley 715cfm carb, and High Compression pistons.

Of the seven, I know where some of them went.
3 were made in to B/FX cars, equipped with 4 weber 48IDA carbs, usually heads ported by Crane with Corvette F.I. valves. Most ran the Crane R-292 roller cam with flat top pistons.
The B/FX cars:
Rankin Ford, London , Ontario, "Wild Child" engine by Gene McCrikkard (sp) at the Hot Rod Shop, Detroit, Mich. (same shop that built Doug Nash Mercury Comet B/FX car.

Beatty and Woods, Toronto, Ontario

Don Havers "Mr 289" built by Brad Francis and myself

2 of the 271 HP cars were campaigned in B or C stock, one by Louis Rivait from near Windsor, Ontario and another by Bob Jezzico from Woodstock, Ontario.

Louis Rivait's car ran extremely well.

A 1964 Barracuda with a 1964 Stage III Wedge 426 S/S powertrain, including a 'glass front end, lightweight seats, a 4.88:1, 8.75" rear end, Stahl headers and a parachute... :)

70-72 Olds 442 with W43 (hemi, 4 valves per cylinder) either pushrod or DOHC version. ot Rod and HiPerf cars wrote up the engine in July 71. GM Mismanagement killed the engine project.
