[1969dragpak]

I was looking for some info on a what I was told was a 1962 406HP out of a galaxie that I have just gotten with my 69 mach project. Is it worth anything?? Should I be keeping and rebuilding this??? Will it compare to a 428CJ ??????

THE 406 HP ENGINES ARE EXCELLENT ENGINES AND MUCH BETTER FOR HI PERFORMANCE USE THAN ANY OF THE LATER 428 ENGINES. FRIENDS HAD THEM IN THE MID TO LATE 60'S AND THEY WOULS PUT A HURTING ON ANYTHING AROUND IONCLUDING VETTES AND SS396 CHEVELLS AND THE 409'S AND MOPARS. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE BUT THEY ARE VERY RARE AND USUALLY EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU DO FIND THEM . I WOULD FOR SURE KEEP IT AND THE 428 BOTH. THE OLD HIPPIE SAID THAT.
