The 427 V8 was produced as both a top-oiler and side-oiler. Introduced in 1963, its true displacement was 425.98 cubic inches, but Ford called it the 427 because 7 liters (427 cu in) was the maximum displacement allowed by several racing organizations at the time. The stroke was the same as the 390 at 3.784 inches (96.11 mm), but the bore was increased to 4.232 inches (107.49 mm). The block was made of cast iron with an especially thickened deck to withstand higher compression. The cylinders were cast using cloverleaf molds- the corners were thicker all down the wall of each cylinder. Many 427s used a steel crankshaft and all were balanced internally. Most 427s used solid valve lifters with the exception of the 1968 block which was drilled for use with hydraulic lifters. Space-saving tunnel-port heads with matching intakes were available, which routed pushrods through the intake's ports in brass tunnels. As an engine designed for racing, it had many performance parts available both from the factory and the aftermarket. A race-ready NASCAR 13.6-1 high-riser was good for some +550 hp, depending on tune. This engine was also used in the A/FX-cars like the famous Fairlane Thunderbolt.
Two different 427 blocks were produced, the top oiler and side oiler. The top oiler version was the earlier and delivered oil to the cam and valvetrain first and the crank second. The side oiler, introduced in 1965, sent oil to the crank first and the cam and valvetrain second. This was similar to the oiling design from the earlier Y-block. The engine was available with low-rise, medium-rise, or high-rise heads, and either single or double four-barrel carburetors on an aluminum manifold matched to each head design. Ford never released an official power rating.
The side-oiler powered Ford GT40 MkIIs to a 1-2-3 finish in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans,[36] and the winner's podium in 1967.
The Ford Galaxie is a full-sized car that was built in the United States by Ford for model years 1959 through to 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from 1958 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. For 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/XL" denoting the higher series. The Galaxie 500/LTD was introduced for 1965 followed by the Galaxie 500 7-Litre for 1966. The Galaxie 500 prefix was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967;[2] however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.[3]:401-42
The Galaxie was the competitor to the Chevrolet Impala.
The Ford Falcon is a model line of cars that was produced by Ford from the 1960 to 1970 model years. The first compact car marketed by the American Big Three automobile manufacturers, the Falcon was the third car line introduced by Ford, following the Ford Thunderbird.
In contrast to its competitors, the Falcon was developed as a scaled-down version of the full-size Ford Galaxie sedan. Through its production, the Falcon was offered in the same body styles as its full-size Galaxie counterpart, including two-door and four-door sedans, two-door hardtops and convertibles, two-door and four-door station wagons (the former, serving as a basis of the final Ford sedan delivery), and coupe utility pickups (serving as the basis of the Ford Ranchero).During its production, the Falcon served as the basis for multiple Ford vehicle lines, including the first generations of the Ford Mustang pony car and the Ford Econoline/Ford Club Wagon vans. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
That's a GREAT kit!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Or should I say GREAT 3 kits.......... 😊👍🙂👌
Nice to have old combo kit available once again. You did a great job on yours Chris.
Now if only round2 could bring back the Chevy combo drag team. That would be cool!
Alright, ready for Saturday night at the track!
I drove a '62 1/2 Galaxie 500. I wish I still had that car.
Kool kit from my childhood
Awesome build
I'm considering buying one
"Black wash on the chrome wheels." I've seen an interesting effect by knocking the shine off chrome wheels with Tamiya clear smoke.
I collect sealed model kits and customize hotwheels but after seeing urs opened and built in think it's one to open and build soon thanks for sharing
Great video of a kit that everyone is glad to see. Keep up the great work.
So glad to see your video today!! Kinda rainy today, good day to watch the workshop. What a great kit, great looking results; love the old galaxies! Round2 has parts packs with rubber slicks that probably work on this kit, also at model round-up. Thanks for your dedication!!! 🧰
Man...Those headers are a real pain! Struggling with them...My only complaint about the whole kit! Great video 👍🏻
Remember the white plastic wrinkle tires? Wicked build as always!
I think I may have a pair of thoughts wrinkle tires from another kit. If I do and if I can find them, I will use them.
What a awesome kit love it need to add this one to the collection thank you Chris enjoyed as always
Get a lot for your money on this build. Thanks much.
Almost done with my 69 Hurst Olds puttin on the decals today!
Fantastic build!!! Can't wait to get one.
....for thought, I would like to see a video of your great model collection.
I live close to Bud Shellenberger. Bud won Stock at the 1965 NHRA U.S. Nationals driving a 427 '64 Galaxie. He raced several Ford cars out of different Ford dealers (mostly Norris Ford in Baltimore) through the 60's and 70's. Nice man. RIP Bud.
Yeah!! Finally
Nice builds!
Thats a big pile of cool plastic
Love these 3 in one box builds.
That's a pretty cool kit, enough there to keep ya busy for a minute. I once had a model of a 2 door 1956 Ford by AMT that an uncle had gotten when he was a kid and had never built. It had those "Strip Fowl" decals also. You could build the car as a stock version, custom, or drag racer. The car also had opening doors!!!
Pretty cars!
Awesome kit loaded with models and parts!
AWESOME SAUCE Chris 🤗🤗🤗🤗 God Bless.
Another job well done, Chris! Thanks for all the great tips throughout the video!! 😊👍👍
Thanks!
I'm waiting on the Nova wagon and 65 Nova Rat Packer combo kit!! But I will be buying this kit.I hope they make all of the drag combo kits that AMT made in the middle 60s. Nice build looks great!
That would be wicked !!👍👍
Pops had the same year falcon back when I was 7 or 8 years old but it was a midnight blue what a great car. This one brought back some great memories.
Thanks for the best channel on CZcams pertaining to this hobby.
Thanks a lot for the nice words. It's all about fun here!
*This kit is just awesome!*
Superb!!
Thanks man!
So glad the multi-kits are coming back and really glad the parts packs are too. My favorite was the ridiculous chromed turbine engine- I put that in several dragsters when I was a kid!
What a great looking kit !
I got a case of them this one of all time favorites thanks for doing this video yours looks great
What a cool build!
That's a beautiful build 3 kits in one box that's what we want to see more of well done Chris 👏
I'm a little disapointed in the Galaxy chassis!
Dude thank you. I’m more of a tractor trailer guy but this is awesome
Chris+ another great build keep em coming have it a thumbs up
Love these combination kits! I'm actually thinking of getting one of these for the trailer as I have a Revell Ford Duallie to restore that needs to be put to work!
Looks fantastic !
Can't wait to get started on mine!!
Love it thank you so much for doing your models you do them so well and thank you for your talent it's awesome to watch Please keep it up thank you
Thank you so much!
Sweet😎👍, I have the AFX mustang under work now. I moved the front axle 1/4" forward, looks so much better now. I'm going to look for this trio to build.
I just got this kit today. didn't open it yet and watching your video I realized the Flacon has an Altered Wheelbase...and the Galaxy is a curbside kit... hum.. but I'm still excited to build this kit...Keep up the great work, I love your channel !!!
Thank you for the review! My first car was a Falcon in that same baby blue. 6cyl and three on the tree tho lol
Awesome kit and build
AWESOMENESS !!!!!
Kit is so cool 😎.
Your work is great 👍.
Nice 3 in one .
Simply stunning build Chris
Thank you kindly!
I believe you put the SOHC 427 valve covers on upside down. The spark plugs were in the top intake side of the heads. Other than that Great build. Yes Im a Ford Guy.
Congrest !! Mieux que la Victoria ...
Just recd my kit in the mail the other day. Looks great.
Another Outstanding video and presentation.
Nice Build I like the combo kits
Nicely done again, I built the Falcon a couple of months ago as the daddy war bucks drag car 👍🇦🇺
Pretty cool, looks like a 427 Cammer motor for the Falcon. Same motor and chassis as the Mustang version.
yah, pretty lacking in detail.. and the fan belt is wrong
love the video, but hated that the Falcon didn't have rubber tires. I would have to grab some aftermarket ones or find some out of another kit
Blue was better 👍😍😍
I really want to pick this kit up, fantastic job.
Awesome build! Love it!
Nice 👌 1 Chris you always do awesome 👌 job...here to help get your videos 📹 out to everyone to injoy
Que fierros papá gracias gracias from Argentina
Thank you!
Really like the show and falcon drag car it really reminded me of the Georgia Shaker car that Hubert Platt had in the 1960 s did very well he has passed now his son like him is,a cool hot rodder has mostly restored the falcon to original and have had the privilege of meeting him in Dawsonvill ga at the way to big show in the very small town of Dawsonvill lot of people and old men behind the cool cars mostly older now but the spark in there eyes still there I really admire them because they worked overtime every week and on the race car full time also just like a lot of people from that era
Nice work. I'd do a black vinyl top on the Galaxie for a bit of sporty look, or use a Mobius pickup as the tow rig
Wow what a great kit!! Nice job Chris!
Top good job 👍
I love the plastic tires, since I'm not 10 year's old I won't be pushing the model around on the floor,
Nice video! Love these build videos of yours. I been checking out your older ones. A lot of great stuff. I’m on the fence about getting the New Glencoe THOR missile model. Any change you will be doing a video build on that kit? Keep the videos coming, I’ll be watching.
Yeah I like that turquoise blue on the f
Falcon
Fantastic mate👍👍
Very nice. As always.
Chris.......FYI
60's Fords, prior to '67, had motors painted black.
I know, I'm being picky! But, I loved my '64 Gal! Black over carnival red. Did a kit, to replicate it, several years ago.
Love your videos. Appreciate your dedication to the hobby.
I have a tough time getting motivated to build, lately. Currently working on a project, '63 Gal, to replicate my wife's dad's car.
Yes, black. BUT, we should always remember that we have no idea where he got the engine from, nor do we know what year this all takes place in. It could be 1980 and he pulled the engine from something else.
Pretty much anything goes on these types of totally modified cars.
What a buitifull set.
Thanks!
Awesome job on the kit. Love the Falcon!
There's a clue on that decal sheet for round 2's upcoming releases, possibly. The strip fowl 57 ford drag car and the boss bird 57 thunderbird drag car. Not official by no means, but a possibility.
Nice package in this one! Falcon is a nice kit to have back out and available again!
Thank you!
@@hpiguy You bet
Our family car was 64 galaxy 500. Maroon. Got to drive it on dates going to the drive in. We had bench seats
Very cool Ken!
My brother had a black 63 and 1/2 . Ox blood red interior ,skirts, tear drop hood and a 352 cu.in. automatic. C😉😉l ! Wish I had it now.
Wow... love everything about that beautiful kit !
Makes me want to get back into the hobby 😆
......but I will need a real comfortable chair !
Maybe the ones all of those twitch/CZcams streamers use !
I've had 3 major operations on my back so I'll need a good chair.....
or a table that can slide out over my recliner ......
1/18 scale would be wicked....
but that's more of a metal die cast thing !
Anyway thank you for a look at the amazing build & video ✌😎
Awesome build brother!
Glad you like it!
Good build Chris. Round2 hit a home run.
Thank you!
That looks like a lot of fun!
Great build. Thought you might have greased up the trailer a little bit and showed used.
Great job again my friend!
Nice job as always Chris! Keep up the good work! 10 Thumbs Up!
Thanks, will do!
Hey Man. Im just getting into modeling. Im a car guy. And Im building my first car. I also have an A M C Model of a 1972 Chevelle given to me for my 40th birthday from my ex wife Im going to finally start 15 years later. Anyway Love your vid. I have subscribed.
Go for it!
delicious!!
Thank you 😋
Chris+ the trailer and drag car would look great behind one of those ford pick-up trucks that round 2 release
Beautiful kit & Build i need 1
falcon is a 65, not a 64. must have kit, great build
A 1965 Ford Falcon funny car is still included in this kit, that has a racecar hauling trailer and a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 sportcoupe.
In the early '70s I had and friend with a '65 Comet Caliente. Came stock with a Boss 302 and a 4 speed. He would beat a new '72 Cougar with the 351 Cleveland.
Nice Chris! I got mine, hoping to start working on them soon…?!? But that Falcon is a OG Funnycar, looks to me like, it’s got an altered wheel base and all that. Those were funnycars before there was actually what we knew as funnycars, know what I mean?! Cool stuff though! Nice 👍
Wow can’t believe you did all them in 3 days! Would of taken me a month lol. Beautiful build as always mate. 😉👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool 😎just found out that the Sharpie markers are good for tire letters too!!!
Yes they are!
Very awesome job as usual Chris have fun be safe
This one is expensive but it looks like it's worth it!!
I bought one of these kits when they first got released it’s sitting around waiting to be built but I haven’t got to them yet
Incredible work! The models look like the real thing and the paint work is really impressive. Thanks for sharing this.
My first car was a 64 fairlane sport coupe wish i still had it
Great review and awesome build Chris.been waiting on this review thanks little pricey at my local hobby shop. Gonna plop down that hard earned cash,seems like a value after watching your video.love the color on the galaxie interior,drag car looked great in turquoise. Loved the primer hood added to the drag FX.the products reviews were awesome also.peace
How long are you waiting between primer and top coats? Great build!
That front wheel having a bit of a turn might have been intentional for another kit.
It doesn't make sense for a drag car but for a circle track it would.
Cool combo. I love the interior color on the Galaxie. That trailer tho, it looks way out of scale. It should be narrowed down 3/4" 😅
Like. Model. Ford. Galaixy.
I watch and listen while leveling pokemon on sword ^_^
