Having started tinkering in his father’s garage at the young age of 10, it’s no surprise that Ryan Hall took possession of his first car, a 1967 Mustang at the age of 13. What might surprise you is that he still has that car, and after years of wanting to add a Ford Falcon to his stable, he finally made that dream a reality with this 1964 Falcon.
“I was a part of a group of guys in high school and all we did was build, race, and repair our cars,” said the Lynneville, Indiana, resident. “We were constantly trying to go faster with very minimal funds.” With life and family taking center stage for a number of years, Ryan stepped away from the car scene, but got back into building cars in 2019. Hall purchased the Falcon from the previous owner near Nashville, Tennessee, but the Ford spent much of it’s life in Florida.

One of the most impressive parts of the Falcon is the factory trim that has been kept in place. With the Falcon being such a rare bird, Hall went to great lengths to keep the car looking factory from the exterior.
“I bought it as a roller with no engine and it was previously raced in Florida. The car had been there since the mid to late 90s,” Hall noted. “I have a large folder with receipts from Port St. Lucie that are from the mid to late 90’s to 2016.”
Once the Ford reached his garage, the owner of Fleet One Repair got to work, stripping everything out of the chassis and starting from the ground up. That included fortifying the 9-inch Ford rearend with
braces and 35-spline axles. Said rearend was also fitted with a Quick Performance 3rd member with spool and 4.10 gears, and Calvert Racing’s Caltrac traction bars keep the rear tires planted despite what the leaf-spring suspension might have in mind.
At the front of the Falcon, a Rod & Custom independent front suspension was fitted to the factory chassis, which not only provides a more modern steering and suspension feeling with rack-and-pinion
Out back, the Falcon is surprisingly uncut and still relies on a leafspring setup, albeit modified with goodies from Calvert Racing and QA1. A braced 9-inch Ford rearend is equipped with 35-spline axles, a Quick Performance 3rd member, spool and 4.10 gears.
Put the Hammer Down.
You don’t cut corners or accept compromises.
Use the best parts, like Trick Flow GenX® 255 square port cylinder heads that can significantly increase the performance of your GM LS-powered car.
Highlights include LS3-shaped CNC Competition Ported runners, CNC-profiled combustion chambers, 12° valve angles, coolant holes that work with all LS head gaskets and engine blocks, and your choice of standard or 6-bolt mounting patterns—all engineered, machined, assembled, durability tested, and dyno proven in the USA to help your car stay ahead of the pack.
Your Formula for GM LS Performance!
New heads are just one part of the horsepower formula. To make it complete, you’re going to need some other components.
Track Max® Camshafts
Give your GM LS an even bigger power boost with a Track Max camshaft. Available in several hydraulic roller designs up to 230°/238° duration and .625"/.625" of lift, they are dyno proven to produce significant power increases over the entire RPM range.
Active Fuel Management and Variable Valve Timing Delete Kits
The problem: most performance camshafts don’t work on engines equipped with AFM or VVT. The solution? Ditch them with these delete kits! They include everything to completely remove AFM and VVT the right way, so your engine will make the power you expect with no hiccups.
R-Series Carb-Style EFI Intake Manifold for GM LS3
The R-Series carb-style EFI single plane intake manifold brings the simplicity of carbureted-style aspiration to the GM LS3. Capable of supreme power over a 3,500–7,500-plus RPM powerband, the manifold has custom-machined fuel injection ports that accept Bosch and Siemens-type fuel injectors. Other features include aluminum construction, high-flow runners, and extra material for custom porting.
