Does anyone remember the old 406 Ford that was available in the early 60s (Galaxies etc). Would this be a good competitive engine choice for my Cobra. Was it a small block or an FE type? A buddy had a red 62-63 Galaxie with the 406 motor with solid lifters and a four speed. I remember the car well. GREAT sound at idle. The rear end must have been about a 2:75 to 1-you could drive @ 65 in third gear and the tach would show 2100 RPM.
I think it had a 3x2 manifold. Don't remember seeing more than 2 or 3 of these cars.. Haven't the vaguest idea of where you would find one.
