Anyone know of anyone doing this same restomod? I'm restoring a 63.5 Galaxie and want to run a modern drivetrain. The reasons are twofold: drive daily if desired and have something that is rare. I prefer to have a DOHC engine and AOD tranny. Obviously this is a big car but I'm not looking at doing burouts. This project is for my 72 year old Dad, who has always wanted a 63.5 Fastback Galaxie but could never afford one. This is for him. Any help with installing a 4.6 DOHC and modern features will be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for tips, suppliers and ideas.

Hi, Early this year I put a 4.6 DOHC in a 63 country sedan (Galaxie body) with a Tremec TKO 500,   but I am using a Holley carb.   If you want email me at    metermike@yahoo.com and I can email you a couple pictures.   I can also give you the low down on what needs modified to make it fit,    Thanks  Mike s.
