Engine Building Part 1 – Power Principles
Before you build the engine, you have to decide what you want in the engine.
It’s so easy for enthusiasts to get excited about horsepower numbers, rpm levels, and sound, while skipping some very key factors of a well-designed engine. Some build requests are realistic while others are not even close. And it’s actually just as important for the engine builder to clarify the needs of the customer, as a totally mismatched engine can easily be an embarrassment to the builder and to the driver/owner.

TCI Suspension Upgrade – Get A Handle On It!, Part 3
We wrap up our Falcon’s suspension upgrade project with TCI’s bolt-in four-link rear setup.
Last month, we introduced you to Nick Licata and his ‘64 Falcon Futura that Total Cost Involved (TCI) has been using for R&D of new suspension products. We showed readers TCI’s new front coil spring based double A-arm suspension system in that story. This month, in Part 2 of our look at Nick’s Falcon, we’ll be focusing our cameras on TCI’s new Triangulated 4-Link rear suspension kit for the ‘60-’65 Falcon, ‘62-’65 Ranchero, and ‘62-’65 Comet.
