A Snake,

Now theres a great call on the early Ford motors. The famous 289/302/351W DID INDEED start life out as a 221.

Man, Club Cobra is THE source for information!

First I EVER heard of the experimental OHC 289, very interesting.

About that same time, you guys recall the OHC 6 cyilinder Pontiac came out with?? Tempest? LeMans? I heard they actually ran that motor in an Indy car also. Four barrel carb was an option, 1965 to 67 I think? Seems like an era when Detroit was waking up to the possibilities of OHC. Way ahead of it's "time" back then, for "production" purposes.
