Thanks Kevin for this information. First, the info on the '60 "level" engine vs. the '61 "Tilted" engine. Why was this? Did it have to do with hood/fender styling? I have owned both '60s and '61s and realize the major differences in the styling. I never realized or thought about the engine angle being different until I saw the differences between the intakes. So that would mean that all '60 intakes iron, FE, 292, etc. would have a different carb base from '61 and later too, right? I'm sure glad to have the correct '60 HP intake ready for my car. I might have run a '61 if I'd had one and didn't know better. Which makes me wonder about using my '61 tri power system. I planned to install this complete, tried and proven set-up the second year or so after I break in the 427 built to look very similar to a 352HP. Would this be a major mistake? Should I look to trade my "stacked" '61 tri-power intake for a "flat" 'bird intake?
Second issue, about the large input 4 speed top loader T & C trans installed in '65/'66 Galaxies, well, it's good to know the truth. I'm not fortunate enough to have owned one of these rare big Fords so I've never had to pull a trans to replace a clutch. If I did have one though, I know I'd eventually have to R&R the clutch because I would drive that brute the way it was meant to be. We Fordnatics here in these parts didn't know the big input was produced until '67 or so. Thanks again for the correct info and I need help on my '60 questions. |
