Default 1968 Ford XL

My first car I bought at 15 years old.
1968 XL Ford with 390 cu. inch engine.
Added Holley 750 cfm 4 barrel carb, headers, and dual exhaust.
Changed 9" rear differential to traction-loc 3.56:1 gear.



Picture from 1983

Many years later I have changed the engine to a 505 cubic inch aluminum heads,
solid roller camshaft, 12.5:1 CR, 1050 Dominator Holley carb. 760 HP @ 6600 rpm.
Way too much fun!!





New Crower HIPPO lifters installed with new valves and valve springs.

Hope you like.

Note: Still working on my 1986 Escort RS Turbo clone.
