I was looking for an engine core to build up for a friend's Connie'. I went to a little salvage yard in the country because they said they had lots of Ford engines.

The pulled a 460 out of a MarkIV, and I saw the block was cracked at the water jacket.

They called the next day, they had pulled three more engines for me to look at.

I looked at the first, a 460; the second was an FE, and the third was a Cleveland.

The 460 turned out to be a 429 Thunderjet whick we rebuilt and installed in his Connie.

The FE was a 406 side-oiler from a '64 Fairlane that I sold to finance the third engine...a 351 Cleveland 4V that I stroked and put in my f100.

oooohhh...394 cubes of big port, big valve, heavy breathing FORD.

Anyway, that yard closed and all the remaining cars were crushed. What a huge loss to all gearheads. Dammit!
