The Voodoo Falcon

[RaceDeck]

This is a project I have been working on for over a year with Tom Kirkham and Mike Maire
It's a 1963.5 Falcon Sprint
5.2 L GT350 motor / Tremec 6 speed
Cantilever suspension
Widened track 3"
fabricated flares and rear panel (retained 30 year old restoration paint)
etc...

WOW! That's sweet

How did you get the engine? Last I knew ford didn't sell the FPC as a crate because of the external balancing requirements. CPC I think can be had.

PS. Great photos.

Wow indeed!

All time sleeper car taken to a whole new level.

Lots of nice engineering and beautiful fabrication

Is there another chapter beyond this that we should prepare for?

You have too much time and/or money on your hands!

Looks like a car done RIGHT! Nice job. Thanks for sharing. That should be a killer ride.

With Tom involved I'd expect nothing less!

I bought a totaled GT350r with aprx 4k miles on it.. Used the motor, trans, and a few other bits. Tom engineered numerous mods to overcome the 'vibration' that is common with flatplane motors...Had to work with Haltech to create a whole new ECU management system... and a 1000+ other mods LOL .. this car is extremely fast and very capable on a track.

Here was an article GoodGuys did about the build in progress

RaceDeck’s Voodoo Falcon - Is This the Truest “Street Machine” Build?

Leave it up to Jorgen Moller, CEO of SnapLock Industries and makers of RaceDeck flooring, to derive the premise of what he calls the Voodoo Falcon – an idea that's been stirring in his mind for a few years is now nearing completion. A car that can truly do it all from weekend errand running to week-

Definitely not your father's Falcon - and in a good way!

My GT350r motor failed at 1100 miles on track. Cause was undisclosed, but rumor is that it the oil pick tubes were the culprits in the gen 1 motor failures. Consider getting it checked out.

Article is great.

Makes you understand and appreciate the accomplishment that much more.

Outstanding!

here is a teaser clip of the car, the sound is amazing! .. a full video is coming soon

More maniacal gorilla donuts with arm out the window!

Wow! That sounds amazing.

My Mom had a black '62 Falcon...but I don't recall it looking anything at all like yours!
That thing is STUNNING!

Damn Nice. Wish I had the skill to do something like this. Drive it in good health.

Thanks... Of all the custom 'Hot Rods' I have had, none even come close. A lot of engineering went into this one from the Cantilever Rear Suspension, Complete Front Suspension geometry ( around 4" widend track too) to the 5.2L Voodoo powerplant.. A few people have joked and said this is a 1963 version of the new GTD -Extremely quick on the track and in the canyons...
