HIGH AND MIGHTY

The team at The Krysler Shop have built some of the toughest diffs around, as used in many local drag cars, but they’re currently cooking up a complete car of their own. Their ’65 Falcon is pure gasser, but is being built on a budget, predominantly from parts found lying around the workshop. While the Falcon’ll likely hit the track with nitrous to begin with, the real plan is to run a blower on it. As you’d expect, the rear end is a solid one, built around a Strange nine-inch housing and 35-spline Pro Race axles. Being a gasser, it’s meant to be scary, so 11-inch Currie drum brakes have been fitted, while Calvert Racing springs and CalTrac bars hold it all in place. The front end is a Speedway Motors straight axle kit, and power is to come fr om the 380ci Clevo and ’ glide out of Dave Bissett’s Cortina. With the Cortina running as fast as 9.0 at 150mph, the Falcon is going to be a wild ride once it hits the track!
