Lots of engines available in 63...

Remember a 63 fastback with a 289 a kid had "back in the day".

You don't have to build an FE to have FUN.

well the body that was said to be in great shape turned out to be a rusting hulk that should have been crushed years ago. There was not a straight panel or aea without rust.

Well that sucks. Maybe Jr. Stock can make a comeback based on an uprising from ClassRacer.com

I seen a rust free '63 Ford Galaxie sitting in a field in California that was for sale for $2000...pm me if you are interested.

TO keep it really Junior Stock ..

Run it as a Pure Stocker with their Cam Rules.

That way you do not have to install a Rool Bar and use Pump Gas.

Just like in those days ..

Only combo I see worth a crap (besides the big buck solid lifter engines) is the 390/300/280.
Not a lot of cam or carb, but plenty of compression..
L/Stock (stick) ..of course

Build it with a big FE and go Nostalgia Super Stock, there's already a number of them racing in the NMCA and NSS.

Love those big old Fords!

JimR Mopar racer!
