great FE engines, had a 1963 galaxie over 20 years bought it from the original owner it sat in a garage for 20 years, works and drives perfect and i drove for 20 more years and eventually sold it for $20,000 of course it was restored but not the engine. even the original auto trans and power steering all worked perfect.
I have a 65 Galaxie that was a 352 and Cruiso, but has a 500 hp 390 I built with a C6. I am blind and will never drive it. I had so much fun with it. My son and I built it from the ground up.
First off, "a little over 300 lbs"... LOL. Second, I'm a "little" bit of a fan! I 100% recommend the Fish N Sport 510. I live on Buchanan & use it a lot, like daily during summer. Kids love to anchor it & use it as a swim platform (You can mount a slide on one, too) I only use it in coves & along the shore. NOT BC of any concerns about the stability, safety, seaworthiness, or likewise of the boat, whatsoever. Rather bc, if you're running just a trolling motor & you get caught in a crosswind... it basically becomes a sailboat. Wanting a 15 hp, only rated for a 7 hp.
I got to test ride the 615 a few days ago on a pond. The dealer even let me jump in the water with scuba gear on and fish from the boat as well as he drove us around the pond. It is an impressive platform for swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing and exploring rivers, lakes and ponds. I wouldn't take one into the Ocean in rough seas. I don't think it could handle six-foot rollers. We plan to buy one soon.
I've watched several videos of this boat on flat water. I want to know I can get back in when the weather turns a little rough, because we all know the weather happens suddenly many times.
My mom had one had a 390 in it it was so long ago me and my brother were in the front seat standing against the door when my brother decided to pull the door handle and we both fell out mom was doing about 15 miles an hour scared the shit out of her we both got whooped for playing with the door handle while she was driving wasnt no law back then about seatbelts or children sitting down
Jay Leno's father bought one of these brand new back in the day and he let jay pick the engine and jay picked the 428 when his father started it up and the engine rumbled he thought car was a defect ! 😂🤣
Sea foam in the cylinders? Sea foam is a strong solvent you’ve washed any oil coating remaining on the cylinder walls completely off. Pull the distributor and get an old distributor shaft and stick it down into the oil pump notch and use a drill to power the oil pump to pump oil through the engine and to the lifters and rockers. Pour auto transmission fluid into the cylinders. Not Seafoam.
I understand that you can't tip it but the movement of rocking side to side and it needs support and extra pontoon on left and right it forbids the pop and back-and-forth And you might be out of part of natur bigger motor Almost like a kayak you might lose balance
so if it was a true 428, you would see 7 liter on the grill and front fender, i see the 352 badge on the fender, and the standard galaxie badge where the 7 litre badge would be. you have a 352 BB engine there. show the picture of the door plate, that will tell you.
hello,thank you for posting ,brother. can i post a link to a video ive made? ive been out of town..im getting my boring old 2018 highlander going again. - i gotta clean the cabin air filter and stuff!
That is a rare car although it doesn't seem to have the 7 litre package they didn't build too many 428FE/4 speed cars most of them had the automatic transmission. There is a 1 of 1 station wagon video on another channel with the same drive train.
