In 1961 Ford's success in NASCAR and NHRA with its 390 was quickly
evaporating. Competitor's 400 cubic inch or larger engines were
mopping up.
The answer was the FE series 406. More than a bored out 390 the 406
was recast utilizing thicker cylinder walls plus more substantial
pistons and connecting rods.
Two versions of the 406 were offered a three Holley Carb version
and a single Holley 4 barrel such as offered here. Solid lifter 385
hp @ 5800 with 444 lb. ft. of torque @ 3400 rpm.
Incredible time machine that looks, runs and drives like a new '62.
Driven only 2700 miles in the last 20 years there are some (very
minor) typical and expected mechanical issues that should be
addressed - nothing that a back yard mechanic couldn't easily
handle. If you're seriously interested in this amazing 406 pick up
the phone (215-631-1776) and call Friendly Wayne or Pete for the
run down. Respectfully we will not respond to email requests.
This is a very special Ford that is worth our very fair asking
price.
