----Thats a good looking 63, Steve! All the right awards too. 340hp is the best choice for someone not fuel injection savvy who wants to actually drive thier 63.....Bill S

Agree, 340 really is the best 63 engine if you intend to drive it. My 63 340 was my favorite among the 63s I've owned. However, now that I own a fuelie and figured out (with much help from others) how to make it run right, I can say there is some magic about the FI that a carbed car can't match.

I agree, but I am scared to go there often as mine still has the original block and I have perenially bad luck. I've often toyed with building a clone to drive like it was a new car. I had a real 435 car with a correct (non-original) block for many years, and I drove it like I was trying to break the crankshaft. That car was more fun than all the other midyears I've had combined.
Original engine and 4.11 gears (original trans lost many years ago): |
