Re: fe 405 cid
By Mel Clark - 11/04/2001 12:50:20 PM; IP 64.12.104.188
Back then NASCAR allowed the mid-sized cars to race with up to 406 CID depending on weight. I don't know that particular combination as all of the teams seemed to be running the 396 cid combination, 427 bore and 352 stroke for real high rpm power. For a while Ford tried to get the teams to put 390 on the hoods as they were close in size, I think NASCAR dis allowed that for whatever reason. Ford wanted to promote the 390 cars even though there was a vast difference in power plants. When you watch those old races you will see Petty's car with 400 on the hood and the Ford teams ran the FE engines right through '72 (I believe) or later as they were the only engines Ford had that was able to lead or at least keep up with the others. Most teams would not use the 385 series engines as they didn't make the power that was
needed. Then Ford let them know that if they didn't adopt the 385 they would recive no further support from Ford or it's affiliates.
