Author	Topic: 63 Fairlane questions
Kyle Gearhead Posts: 421 From: Sumner, WA Registered: Dec 2001	posted 12-02-2004 10:23 AM I was just wondering if '63 Fairlanes origionally came with an export brace? My car doesn't have one, and I was thinking of purchasing the one Crites makes, but I don't know if I even need one for a car used only at the drag strip; do I?. Also, would it be worth my time to make and install a monte-carlo-type bar? Thanks! ------------------ Kyle Laramore '63 Fairlane: 351W, 10.2:1, top-secret hyd. roller cam, Victor Jr. heads & intake, 800 DP carb, Super Comp headers, duraspark & 6AL, C4, 4500 stall, 4.11 gears, 26" slicks '66 Mustang Coupe: 289, Offy intake, Crane Blazer hyd. camshaft, Holley 650 DP, Headman long tube headers, 3" cut-outs, Flowmaster 2-chambers, 3.80 gears '70 Mach 1: 351C-2V, Weiand intake, 750 holley, Flowtech long-tube headers, MSD ignition, C6 trans, CJ converter, 9" track-loc rear, 3.50 gears, Flowmaster 2.5" mandrel exhaust w/ 3-chamber mufflers My advice for building & buying: 1.

It was just two peices of pipe with the ends flattened. One end is bolted to the cowl and the other to one of the bolts on the shock tower that bolts the uppper shock mount on. I too am planning to build a monte-carlo bar for my 64. ------------------ Steve S 64 Fairlane S/C IP: Logged
