351C Fairmont with Toploader 4-speed
The Fairmont that Ford Never Built
Fairmont in Oregon purchased in 2007 with 50,000 miles.
The differential is out of an '84 Lincoln with Fox chassis. Bolts right up but is about an inch wider than Fairmont axle on each side. The fix is the...
Fairmont with 2005 Mustang wheels. The Mustang wheels have the correct offset so no bending required. They fit with plenty of room, (205/60/16).
The plan was to convert a Cleveland front sump oil pan to rear sump for the Fox project. I have all the needed pieces but made the decision to just...
Fairmont back seat. Other than having to replace the headliner and a missing piece of trim on one of the seatbelts, the interior is in near perfect...
Fairmont as I got it back in 2007. Bought it on eBay for $1,700 from an auction house in the San Francisco bay area. A widow of a retired Coast...
Fairmont instruments before switching to manual transmission and tachometer cluster.
Fairmont driver's door. Can it get any better than this?
In keeping with the build theme to use only Ford parts, I just happen to find this Holley carburetor manufactured for Ford with a part number of...
Six banger and A/C comes out.
This is the bad boy. Big block toploader out of '69 Stang. Picked this up in 1974 for $50.00 and have been hanging on to it all these years just...

Cleveland goes in.

Originally 3.3L, 200 cubic inch automatic car.
Doctor Safety at work in the Fairmont engine bay. Lincoln Teksid 4.6 DOHC and Kawasaki H-2 in the background under the motorcycle cover.
I ran the Cleveland/Toploader combination in a Maverick for a while but was never completely satisfied with the result. The close proximity of the...
Fairmont no Engine or transmission
Fairmont rear
Fairmont driver's side
I used bearings from a Torino and a Maverick to get the correct fit. A12 and A13 are the part numbers. I also had to machine about 1/10 of an inch...
Differential from Fox Lincoln 3.27 ratio - it's great working next door to a Pick and Pull when doing a project like this.
1970 Torino GT 4V Mill. Yes those are the original valve covers, just a little chrome added. This motor was GIVEN to me in 1976. Can you say free?...
V 8 K-member, Aerostar Rotors on front, also fit some Rangers. Dorman wheel studs another non-Ford part. The original Ford studs were not long...
Massive engine compartment, especially when compared to the Maverick and Comet.
