How weird is this?

Sorry for the hijack Paul.

BTW. My guess for the engine of the wagon is a M.B. OM617.

Original chrome kidneys with the Festiva pattern?! ...Are they for sale to the highest bidder?

I guess I'm gonna have to dig them out in a few days to get some pics.

Got an older camera so they may not be the best.

If I get pics I'll start a thread in the FS section.

Mine were UNI-LUG, I guess that would make a difference.

Ah, OK. That makes the difference. Thanks for the info.

gotta be the new 5.0, I bet the 4.6 has been done in the 20 odd years it's existed, maybe rotary...

[chrisofna]

I'm gonna say he is either putting a Coyote 5.0 in it or an aluminum block Modular 4.6 in it.

WOW!!! I haven't seen those caps since we had the Futura! That was a couple of days ago!

[m715]

LOL I would have to find them among the M715 parts I haven't sorted through since 1998! What a mess!!!!! I would probably find the spare 1BBL carb instead!

What's going in it? 427 Side Oiler or Cammer? Inquiring minds want to know! When I lived in CO I went on a poker run with the Mustang Club and one stop was the Shelby Museum in Boulder, CO. There is a Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery built by Shelby. http://shelbyamericancollection.org/...n/falcon.shtml

It is well worth saving, for certain! I always did like the "Surfer" look you can do with the two door wagon. I really should have NEVER let the '57 go, but..... shouldn't have let the 65 Ranchero go either!
I would like to see pics as it progresses!

I had not seen a set of those wheels/dogdishes in a long time! Makes me want to go looking for the set of spinners that are still around here somewhere.

its actually a kinda rare, early (60-63) ford falcon station wagen and yes our little festy wheels bolt on it and the mustang (64.5-73) maverick (70-77) and any other car that has the 4 X 4 1/2 lug pattern (no, those old american "irons" wern't metric) i know they will fit a maverick as i have a 71 grabber, and they fit falcons and early mustangs b/c my grandps has both of those cars too.

[lessersivad]

It has no drive train. Guys the uber crazy thing is a 1960's American designed car has the same bolt pattern as the very uncommon 80's - 90's Japanese designed festy bolt pattern. Those are stock festy steelies.

So is the stock bolt pattern going to be retained?

If so, I happen to have 5, 4x4.5" 13" vintage chrome kidney slot rims I may be willing to sell.

[lessersivad]

There was a guy at one time that was on here that had old falcon wheels on his festiva

Ya mean like this.......

I just picked up another set in Grand Rapids a while back.

Early Corvair wheels fit also.

[lessersivad]

Well just for FYI, the Pinto and Mustang II also carried the same bolt pattern in their era. I used to have a set of sweet aluminum slots on my Pinto I wished I had now for a Festiva. The offset is not quite right, but for a custom project they would be nice.

Not quite. 4x4.25 according to this.....
