RE: 406 tri power
By Russell - 02/14/2002 8:54:53 PM; IP 64.12.104.177
Boy did you open a can of worms !! First I think Bob was right on target. Being an FE man from the 60's it gets confusing with casting #'s. C_S #'s are USUALLY Tbird BUT in this case not so. Now as to your main question. As others have already stated YES is will work but WITH MODIFICATIONS. I am installing a 428 tri-power in a 69 mustang. 67 & 68 had a FE BUT you must 1) insure that shock towers are BB or reinforce them. 2) You need GT heads (14 bolt exhaust pattern) OR have you 406 heads drilled and tapped 3) in order to fit WITHOUT major problems use 68/69/70 Mustang BB exhaust manifolds (available used and even repo now).and 4) I highly recommend reinforcing your frame rails. I have learned the hard way that they will eventually crack if you don't. I use 14 inches of 3/8 to 1/2 flat bar stock welded into the front frame rail before installing floor pans. Also on a none convertible, I would use the concertible "tunnel" to help strengthen your main body. This set up has yet to fail me with FE's putting out 600+ HP. WEAKNESS: Oil. You need windage tray, extra capacity oil pan, good quality oil pump and extra slots in your valley pan baffle to help get the oil back to the pan. Good Luck Russell
