| How is it teh plant could have extra engines laying around to instal in other cars when they ran short? Your buds are telling stories because Ford did not assemble cars that way (and doesn't). Engines are shipped from the assembly plant based on scheduled units for assembly. If 1000 Mustangs are to be built then they ship 1000 engines setup for Mustangs. Where would these other mythical engines come from that they used when they ran short of the proper ones? They did not keep a pile of extras laying around, thats for sure. Most engines were installed within days or receipt and that is why most cars of the time have engine casting dates so close to the productiuon date of the car. Obviously tehre are exceptions for low volume units but 390 Mustangs usually have the casting dates 2-3 weeks before final assembly of the whole car. think about that fact, The engine block was cast, machined, assembled, and shipped usually in less than 2 weeks before a car hit the skids and assembly began. No, it was rare when the wrong engine was installed and when it did happen it was not likely on purpose. Hawkrod |
