1966 Galaxie 500 XL Build w/ 460 Engineglovergs 06-16-2009, 10:35 PM I recently purchased a 66 Galaxie 500 XL that had a 390 engine (missing when I received car. I have the opportunity to purchase a 460 w/ C6 trans out of a 75 lincoln town car. Does anyone know of any major problems I might run into. Gary 77mud 06-17-2009, 07:20 AM I belive there are a few on here that have done it a time or 2, maybe they will chime in, now how about some pics of the car:D glovergs 06-17-2009, 08:43 AM Thanks I'll look around. The deal I have on purchasing a 460 w/ C6 trans out of a 75 Linclon Town Car is to good to pass up. Just looking to see if I have any huge issues to over come. I've heard many good things about the 460, and not being able to find an original 390 to put back in the car, I figured, why not go with more cubic inches. Pic's of the car, good one. I just bought the car and will post some in a few days. Gary bulletpruf 06-17-2009, 10:31 AM You can buy motor mounts and headers from Crites. I've used a lot of their products with no issues. See http://www.critesrestoration.com/galaxie.htm 460 in a big car like a Galaxie sounds like a no-brainer to me. Need some torque to get that puppy moving. Good luck, Scott GTWORKS 07-15-2009, 07:37 AM Pic's of the car, good one. I just bought the car and will post some in a few days. Gary So how did you go Gary ? and where's those pics ????
