		Thanks kevin for the details and great stories.   
  Ford did run the 396 c.i. configuration in early '67 with the Fairlane due to NASCAR rules that limited Ford to 400-under with the F'lane/Comet body.  Can't remember the details.  It just seems it was another attempt to keep Ford from dominating.  But I do know that those 396/427 Fairlanes were way closer to "real" automobiles  compared to the rear wheel drive/351W powered plastic fantastics being passed off as "stock" cars of today.  And of course the rear drive Montes/Grand Prixs, etc.   
  Can you tell me what stock car FoMoCo offers today running anything close to a 351W?   Think back to '61 and what it would be like to see a '61 Ford screaming around the tracks with  a flathead Merc!  Crazy huh?  And a two door rear drive Viagra Taurus is any different?
  Thanks again kevin.  E-mail me and I'll send you a couple of shots of those Jahns Slugs.  |
