1963 Ford 300

1963 Ford Custom 300 427 Tribute

This 1963 Ford Custom 300 is a serious street/strip-style build with old-school Ford performance attitude, 427 side-oiler power, and a purposeful two-door sedan look. Finished in cream with a red interior, S/S graphics, hood pins, 427 fender badges, and American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels, this Custom 300 has the right visual punch for a drag-inspired Ford build.

427 Side-Oiler V8 with 4-Speed Manual

Power comes from a 427 CID Ford FE side-oiler V8 upgrade equipped with dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, MSD ignition, Le Mans-style crankshaft and connecting rods, Ford Racing pistons, a Thunderbolt-style flat-tappet camshaft, and 2.5-inch dual exhaust.

The 427 is paired with a Ford Toploader 4-speed manual transmission, Centerforce clutch, and Hurst shifter. A Ford 9-inch rear end with 4.11:1 Detroit Locker helps put the power down, while front coil springs, rear leaf springs, and traction bars support the street/strip setup. Four-wheel drum brakes provide the stopping power.

Cream Exterior with Red Interior

The cream exterior is finished with S/S graphics, hood pins, 427 fender badges, good paint, good trim, and a period drag-racing look. American Racing 17-inch Torq-Thrust wheels with 215/45R17 front tires and 255/50R17 rear tires give the car a strong stance.

Inside, the red interior keeps the performance-focused theme with an AM radio, column-mounted tachometer, under-dash gauges, racing lap belt, T-handle shifter, and dash-mounted switch for street or drag race operation.
