1960 Ranchero the way it should be

[junkyardjeff]

Picked up a small car Ford six so I had to get the Ranchero,I was hoping when this kit came back out it would had a more correct engine but it did not so I am going to build it the way it should be.

Watching. 

That would be a great engine for just about any early 60s mainstreamer. Mustang, Falcon, Comet, Fairlane, Galaxie.

So many choices, so few engines available.

Nice that you are building it with an inline six.  I bought a resin Ford inline six from MCW for my 1960 Ranchero build.  I look forward to seeing your finished build.

That kit should of had a six or a optional 260 or 289 and not what it came with.

G'day Jeff, another option is www.thepartsbox.com located in Australia. They have a resin inline 6 170/200 pursuit.

Cheers, David. ??

Every kit release has a budget based on the reasonable expected return. Tooling up new engines is expensive and not in the budget

Starting to look like a Falcon under the hood,the shock towers I used are not the most detailed but to me looks much better. Next is the core support.
