Thank you, sir. I personally prefer v8 round body.

Ahh...2 door 1963 and 1/2?

Probably, just not sure yet until we got a chance to see.

The six cylinder cars are easily converted to V8. The 63 1/2 came with a 260CID. Not common. Most people find newer 302s and drop them in. They look the same. If you want something to keep completely stock then search for an unmolested 63 1/2 Falcon Sprint with a 4 speed.

Good luck with your project and welcome.

Also, I discovered all 63.5 Hardtops have torque-boxes even when they came with a 6 cylinder. That's good. So you can swap to an 8 using all 1965 V8 suspension parts (except for leaf springs). Just beware a V8 car to make sure all wheels are 5-lug.
