LS into a 69 falcon? I was offered a 69 Falcon 2 dr, just wondered if anyone has done this swap. Not sure how
much room with the shock towers. I have enough spare parts for an engine, trans, my thinking
was a 78/75 vs turbo for the small (3") outlet. Trucks pretty much done, so I see boredom
coming, lol. Guessing the engine comp on a falcon is sim to a mustang.

Chuck that antiquated excuse for a front suspension in the trash and put a Mustang II style front end under it. Then you completely remove the shock towers. Great place for the downpipes! If you keep the stock front suspension, swap the upper control arms for the adjustable ones. then you can set some positive caster in and it'll handle way better than the grocery cart it will currently handle like. The Falcon would make a cool and different ride if done right. From what I've seen of your work, you have a good eye for that.
edit: I didn't realize the '69 was so much "different" than the '67-'68. You got your work cut out for you, lol. Too bad it's not a wagon. They have some great lines to start out with.
