Voodoo Swap In My 63.5 Falcon, almost done

[zackmd1]

Would you mind sharing photos of your build as well??

Haha I will when I have something! I am starting from scratch and building the body from the ground up. No original car. First though I have a Factory Five Roadster to finish. Once that is finished, the 65 build will commence.

Will be a fastback with a convertible floor (added strength with torque boxes, inner rockers, trans tunnel brace, etc...). It will also get an IRS (not sure which one yet). Engine is being built from the ground up as well. Just ordered the crank (before Ford decides to discontinue it) so I will likely be periodically posting in here asking for suggestions when building the motor to correct anything that might not be the best from Ford.

There was a ton of work on the suspension and chassis. The front is completely custom engineered with nothing off the shelf. we are about 3+" wider track, had to put a full new floor in ( GT350 floor) to fit trans and other, widened rear panel /tubbed, etc.) We retained the stock header & dampeners and now playing with various durometer mounts..there is no room for the OEM gt350 motor mounts. The vibration is not bad, but at this level build.. we might as well go all the way ;)

I was wondering if the frame rails were wide enough for the full 2015 motor mount setup.... Guess that answers my question! The key to that system though would be the OEM engine mount dampeners and not the mount itself.

I'm speechless. This is so completely over the top amazing.

I see the hoonigan decals. Are you the same shop as Ken Block?

I love it Falcons really have the body for these type of builds.

Always made the best looking gasers.

Great build

Look s like an ass kicker !

I have a 2019 GT350R and inspired this build
It's been a long process but we are getting close to finalizing this build with my 63.5 falcon Voodoo Swap ( along with massive other mods, from cantilever suspension, widening track, widening body panels, metal flares, etc.. ), wheels are temp waiting on Forgelines. We opted to scrap the OEM ECU and are now building the Haltec ECU.. going well at a slow pace. Mike Maire engineered and fabbed all of the suspension and Tom Kirkham /Cubic Performance did the build and metal work as well.. both serious craftsman!
We retained the stock headers, dampeners, etc to eliminate added vibration issues,, we do still have some around 1700-2300rpm .. any tips? we managed to tune a lot out.

My older brother would be appalled. Meanwhile, my high school lab partner would be amused. My brother restores cars like this to factory original and these mods would be out of scope. My lab partner owned one, and we called it the "Falcoon". It dragged his race car trailer to the track on race weekends. Needless to say it was modded a bit. John Hall's Carcraft is where he worked after school, with a factory Trans Am Boss 302 parked in the bay next to his racing Cortina.

I would seriously do that swap on a convertible Falcon! Bob McNamara wouldn't recognize his creation! Great Work!

Very nice. And tastefully done.

Awesome build!

You have no doubt inspired many Dowunder Australian Falcon owners to do something similar with their cars to preserve the Falcon as a Ford icon in this Country.

When I said from the ground up, I meant it.... Haha

I'll say.....

Sooooooooo bad ass.

Awesome build!

My FIL had a red one that we used to call Falcon-Eddy. He had it for a couple of years and then, it was stolen right out of his garage. I guess someone liked it more than he did...

What sorta exhaust are you running out from the OE headers? Straight pipe? Sounds amazing.
