Can anyone say Cobra Jet?

Too cold, too little time, too much other work to do... Lots of excuses why the Galaxie is not yet tearing up the road. Ultimately, it just hasn't been a priority lately.


That hasn't stopped me from thinking about what I want to do to the car... While my Galaxie was built with a 289 ci engine, I drooled with lust when I read that there was a 7-liter Galaxie produced in 1966, with a 428 ci engine that produced 500+ HP. It got me to thinking...

The 289 was a great little engine (in a 2800-lb Mustang) at 195-200 BHP. But to sling around a 3600-lb car, I believe I need something a bit bigger, a bit grander!
