    Got a little more done. Used the original air cleaner from the '71 instead of the other one I have that says "120 HP" on it. I also have the valve cover from the '71's original engine if I need it.

    Well, found out the 1965 Falcon 200 has a bent crankshaft. First time I've seen that.

    Looks like I may have had the original engine to one of them laying around this whole time...

    Found the titles to both of them. The '70 was purchased by us in August 1977, and the '71 was purchased from a woman. Actually has 203,000 miles.

    Bought this 302/C4 out of a bumpside truck for $100. Don't know whether it'll go into the wagon or the Maverick yet, but at least that's a little progress.


    The car's just been sitting like this for the past year or two:
