Howdy everyone! Im in the process of installing a low milage 351w into my 63 Galaxie 500. The tired old 223 gave out this summer and Ive decided to go with a bit more power. I dont race the car, just use it as a summer driver. I have the engine and C6 trans from a 78 LTD II in the car which actually went in really smoooth using 289 mounts and drilling new bolt holes for the trans mount. First problem i noticed is the wheels appear to have canted in at the top. I thought the stock original springs could handle the weight (if this is the problem???) Im thinking of going to the local spring shop and getting some heavy duty springs such as the ones used for the 352, 390 etc......would this solve the problem?

Has anyone made this kind of swap out there? Any other tips or clues would be appreciated -

Also since i have the 78 LTD II, i plan on swapping to disc brakes over the winter - the galaxie has manual brakes, just wondering from what car the best dual master cylinder would work if anyone has done this too.

Thanks - great site![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spin.gif[/img]
