junkyardjeff Posted May 1 Posted May 1 A guy at work gave me a started 69 Galaxie kit that I will be painting in the same color as the one I bought slightly wrecked back in 79 for the 390 to put in my 65,that got me thinking to get a 65 to build just like the 65 I had back then. The 69 does not have a stock engine so what kits would have a 390 would have the stock 69 valve covers and possibly air cleaner. I paid a whopping 35 dollars for that 10 year old 69 and miss those days.
Can-Con Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Would the ones in the AMT '66 Fairlane be the right ones, Jeff? They say "Powered by Ford" on them.
junkyardjeff Posted May 2 Author Posted May 2 Those are the ones,the 65 valve covers are different. 1
stavanzer Posted May 2 Posted May 2 There are at least 2 stock air-cleaners in the recent Round2/AMT '69 Ford Galaxie.
espo Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Might look at the Round 2 issue of the old AMT '60 Ford Starliner. Has a couple of carburation choices as well as nice factory hi-flow cast iron exhaust manifolds. 1
junkyardjeff Posted May 4 Author Posted May 4 I found two unbuilt FEs on eBay and have them on the way,one is from the newer 69 Galaxie kit and the other is from a Mobius 72 F350 so I should be getting what I need. I was looking at the engine that was in the 69 I got and it's a FE with cammer valve covers and all the valve covers I have are for a 65 or 66,with the Mobius engine I get a truck 4 speed for a future truck project and I have one in mind .
junkyardjeff Posted May 4 Author Posted May 4 Picked up a Mobius M100 parts kit missing the body so I have another FE but it has the 65/66 style valve covers.
