I'm new to fords and just picked up a 65 galaxie that I want to bracket race. It has a 352 engine with some kind of cast iron trans. Before I swap in a 460 and c6 I will race this combo. I think it came with a 390 though...

One question concerns the 9 inch rear- Is it a big or small bearing rear, and what spline axles does it have? What gears??
I should mention the car is unmodified.

It looks like a 3 link rear. Are these OK for drag racing?

And beside crites, where can I get performance parts for this car?

More than likely it's 28 spline. Not sure on large or small bearing unless you can get the numbers off the tag on the rearend.
