RE: 406 Block? |

When Ford made the "406 " it was meant to race. This engine was not meant for the family sedan. There was no 2 barrel carbs, heck you couldn't even get an automatic trans. All "406" were solid lifter blocks, had groved cranks, had a larger harmonic dampner, had extra metal at the mains, had large oil galleries, oil preasure relief valve at rear of block. They all had HP cast on them. Not all have cross bolt bosses, my C2AE-J doesn't, you mught find that in 63 blocks. I have never seen an honest to goodness OEM cross bolted "406" in person. I've seen were guys have had it done, but never from the factory. Rumor has it that there were only enough made to satisfy Nascar, and not many hit the streets. <That is all I got> |
