Very Cool! 

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Todds car ran personal bests at the track last weekend.  6.64 1/8th mile 101.9 mph.  Were digging away at it hope to be in the 6.50's in January when the 2015 season starts up.

They both sound awesome.
Great times too.
John, You should suggest a Holley HP set up!
My Terminator has been upgraded to HP version V2 and is now laptop manageable including Ignition.  
It would work well on that single plain manifold you guys fabbed.
  

John.  Thanks for posting the links to the videos.  Both videos work fine on my end.  That Falcon sounds great and sure doesn’t sound like a SBF.

Todd had the Falcon out at Barona Dragstrip November 15 for the King of the Track event. Todd won his class but broke out in the semi's to determine the overall winner. Weather was cool all day and really dropped as the sun went down. We were happy to see the 6.69 second time but his dial-in was 6.72.
There will be another race November 29th so we'll see how it goes.
Found this video on youtube of one of Todd's passes

Jim, plugs are tough to get at. It takes a wrench on a plug socket with a hex top. Todd had the Falcon back at Barona Saturday for the Renegade event. Todd and Geoff made a cold air set up for the engine bay and tried a new 850cfm Quick Fuel carb. Todd worked on the Cal-Trac set-up at the track.  Weather was much better than the last time at the track.
Best run was 6.78 @ 100.5 mph

By the way , just how do you change the spark plugs ?  Thinking to myself , [ I wonder if my wife would leave me if i did this to our 64 falcon futura ?] , oh well quit  dreaming . __JIM

Congratulations on some very fast runs for a brand new car.  Car looks great also.  It’s always good to see what the car looked like before starting the project and in this case, it was a big improvement.  Great job and I’m sure some lower et’s are in the making.

Glen, the Falcon has the Crites shock tower kit but it is still tight.
With some tuning and better weather we're hoping for some 6.70 passes, maybe better???

John that is awsome, proves that a Y block will fit, but I sure would hate changing plugs! The numbers are super, looking forward to more info on the engine and more details on the intake. Great job as always!
