Our family had a 63 Ford Galaxy with a 390. It was a screamer.
A friend of mine had a Ford around that time. Can’t recall the particular model but believe it had a 390, with some modifications. A little sluggish is first gear but the G force was unbelievably strong when it shifted into second gear. It would put down some serious rubber. LOL
