Harris,

The 406 was made in 1962 and 1963 and it came with the three two setup. I have known some that really ran . A friend of mine had a 1963 Galaxie with one and he got beat regulary at the drags by the 390 HIPO cars. But another guy had one and he did some work on it and it ran great. And it is an FE block. Actually a 390 punched out. And they do make good motors for Cobras. Bill Emerson has one setting in his shop now at Emerson Motorsports. You might contact him and talk to him about it as I think it is for sale. Like all motors, some were great and others weren't.
Not being a drag racer I am not sure that my friends problems weren't as much his driving as the car and motor.
