Looks good Paul, you got headers on the 351 in there? Do tell how. I have a fit with headers on a 302 in my 56.

Yours a nice clean Customline, I like the side moldings on them.

ctfortner; I have Hedman's long tube headers, can't remember the no. but I have it somewhere. The 351 is wider than a 302 (you shouldn't have a lot of trouble finding a good fit), and I had to look through a lot of different styles before finding a set that would fit by the steering box. The worst part was having to modify the firewall to allow room for the down tubes. That gave me necessary clearance, and you don't really notice the mods. I attached a couple of pics of when I was fitting things to a spare chassis I have. I had to put a drop in the cross member to position the motor/trans properly. Paul Selfe.

Just found this site. Great!!! Here is my '62 Galaxie 500/XL Sunliner. She has a 390 4 bbl with automatic trans. License plate is MLKY WY. What else would you call a big white Galaxie? Other than a CD player and electric pusher fan for parades she is original or restored to original, every nut and bolt.
