"All they had"?? |

Are all the history books wrong when they state that the small block 221 - 289 arrived around '62 - '63?? If so Ford most assuredly had a "choice" stanley!!! The reason Ford chose the FE was because that's all they needed NOT "all they had". The small block carried the Ford name at Indy, did a commendable job, albeit an engine as far removed fr stock as stanley's 408 windsor. Racing FE's on the other hand much more closely resembled their production cousins and in fact could be duplicated by customers out of Ford's "Muscle Parts" bins. From reading the several posts stanley writes I get the distinct impression that were we enjoying internet technology in the '40's - '50's stanley would be argueing the merits of the steam engine. HEY!! Wasn't there a "Stanley Steamer" car way back when??? I might be on to something here.............. |
