1963 ½ Galaxie R Code Low Riser 427FE with #‘s matching T-10 4 Speed
This is a one owner engine and transmission that was factory installed in a 1963 ½ Galaxie. When the Galaxie was sold in the late 60’s the engine and trans were removed and installed in a street rod until 1984 when they were removed from the street rod and put into storage. The cylinders were oiled during the storage period and the engine currently turns over by hand with little effort. In the pictures you will see that the engine is quite dusty and dirty, this is from being in storage for 30+ years.

The block casting # is C3AE-6015AB HP24. Stock 4.23“ bore

The head casting #‘s are both C3AE-6090D. In the 60’s the heads were milled approx .040 to raise compression. The current combustion chamber volume and compression ratio is unknown. The heads are fully assembled including valves, springs, rockers, ect...

The dual quad intake casting # is C3AE-9425H or C3AE-9426H (its hard to tell). When the heads were milled the intake was milled to match the heads so they should be considered a matched pair.

2 sets of carb‘s come with the package
The set currently installed are both Autolite‘s and the casting #'s are both C5AF BDA 6LD I believe these are 710CFM
The original set of Autolite’s casting # C3AE CA C 652 CFM are included but currently unassembled.

The camshaft is not the original 306 duration .500 lift cam, its a Galaxie Thunderbolt 427 cam.

The transmission casting # on the trans body is T-10B-1 W.G DIV W-1. The date code it there but not very legible. There is also a yellow painted # stencil that says C3AAH. The casting # on the tailshaft is T-10B-7 W.G DIV W1.
The original cast steel bellhousing (casting # C3AA -6394-A 3C18) is included but as you can see in the picture its missing a little something ;).

There is not a flywheel included with the sale.

In the pictures you’ll see the

Original distributor
Original optional transistor ignition amplifier
Original air cleaner (it does have about ½“ of an inch milled off of the rear of the lid for when it was installed in the 1932 Sedan.
All accessories and pulleys

The currently installed headers are not included but the original 1963 ½ Galaxie cast iron headers/manifolds are included.

For a serious buyer the oil pan and cylinder heads can be removed to verify the crankshaft and connecting rod casting #‘s and also the blocks cylinder bores.

At this time everything is being sold as one package, currently not interested in separating.

Asking price is $12000.00 for everything

I have more pictures that show the individual casting #'s on the block, heads, trans, bellhousing, carbs, ect...

If you want to see something specific just ask.
 
Very cool! My dad's friend has a 1963 1/2 Galaxie he bought brand new from Gene Butman Ford in Ypsilanti. It has the 390 & 4 speed, currently with around 33,XXX original miles. The salesman had talked him out of the 427 engine, I guess for the poor gas mileage. He wants to kick that guy's ass still to this day lol... I bet he'd LOVE to get this package deal!
 
Wow.
There was a guy I met on here with the handle Double C. I believe he and his dad were restoring a 63-1/2 lightweight Galaxie. It was the real deal; Aluminum fenders, 'glass bumpers, Econoline seats with drilled out brackets, etc.. I saw the partially-disassembled car. I don't remember if they had the engine or not. I haven't seen him on here in quite a while. If they need an engine, this would be it.
 
In '64 when the Thunderbolt was released my buddies dad kicked himself in the ass for buying the '63 1/2 and not waiting for the Thunderbolt.

I believe he has the drive train with his. At least i hope so that way when it ends up in my barn i wont have to search for the motor lol.
 
I was hoping the trans in this ad had the elusive aluminum case. But we already have a high rise and tunnel port setup.
 
Ah-HA!!! Double-C!! Welcome back dude!! I didn't remember if you had the full engine and trans for yours.
How's that project doing? WTF is Falcon talking about?? "When it ends up in my barn..." ???
