Letsgo off topic. My first car was this one's cousin, 64 falcon convertable. Same power train. dropped a valve and the engine didn't like it very much, broken piston, cracked cylinder walls.....
after several months of sulking, stumbled across a 351 4bbl. if you thought a 260 was fun, just double the horsepower and see how fast things go.
