RE:Yes indeed.. By Mike McQuesten - 09/04/2001 6:19:55 PM; IP 206.193.0.124 I believe that there isn't an M code anything for 1964. I think it's a typo/mis-print/clerical error, etc. As I said, the 1967 edition, which is a true legit piece of Ford literature, shows nothing about anything M code for 1964. But it's the 1972 edition that lists such, a 396!! And it's also a true legit FoMoCo publication. Two things Mr. F about the codes listed on this site: First, I don't believe the 1963 M code that's listed is truly a High Performance, as per 401 horse 390 of '61 & '62. The M code of 1963 denoted the rare M-bird which was the mild 390 with tri power. It had a unique C3S camshaft that was just a little hotter than the stock 300 horse stick. I guess I think it needs a note or something indicating that that the '63 M code is unique to '63 Thunderbird. 390 6V Thunderbird. Second, I'm still wondering why there isn't anything for the 1960 Y code cars. Just like the confusion created by 1961, Z code denoting 390/300 horse lo-po or 390/375 & 401 horse Hi Po cars. The Y code 1960 352 - 360 horse was the first true high performance FE offered by Ford and I believe it should be recognized. Thanks.

This thread, so far...
