Yes I put the 460 from a donor Galaxie with a C6 auto ,I recentred the 9'' diff down to a 3 to 1 ratio for highway running ,in Australia Ford continued the Customline range until 1959 mine is a 59 Star model , I always liked the late 30s/40s Buick 8s ,not many of them get Rodded down here but a nice big comfortable car,
Something you guys didn't get over there a few in Canada A 1948 Ford Pilot V8 they used the 221 cubic inch flatheads this is one I Rodded and repowered with a 5 litre Holden V8 unfortunately a big Clevo engine was too tight a fit in the small engine bay or it would have had one, My wife used it as an everyday driver for a few years,
