Posted by Starfire  -  08/15/2008 10:01 AM Ought to be an easy project and fun to do considering the Falcon, Fairlane 500, and Mustang of the year were essentially the same car beneath the sheet metal. Lots of options to make it the way you want it. Anything that will fit a '64-1/2 - '67 Mustang will work with the '64 Falcon.

Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida   Posted by oilmanpat  -  08/15/2008 05:34 PM I found that there were 4 and 5 bolt wheels for these. The 5 bolt is supposed to be the same on the Ford Fairmonts and is supposed to be a direct boltup. If your car came with a V8 you should be good to go as is.. The 4 bolt front end came on cars that originally were a 6 cylinder and therefor didn't need to be as heavy. oilmanpat [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Warsaw, Illinois Charter Member since August 2007   Posted by da34guy  -  08/15/2008 06:02 PM Just helped a buddy get rid of all the Falcon junk and put a Fatman Mustang 2 type f/e under it. Now it's a real car.
