...the 352HP valve spring problem may NOT have been ironed out in March 1960, as I first posted. That December '60 post suggested it was a bit later in the 1960 year before things were set proper. I suspect my first post was based on an optimistic magazine story which was written in March when the problem was first identified, but the solution was a bit more complicated than the writer thought.

I recall the old stories of the need for FOrd to develop "7000 RPM" kits for the FE, and the hassles that Ford had in this regards. I suspect this is what was in the early stages of being developed here.

I'm not sure that all the bugs were worked out in December of 1960, because I seem to recall the not-yet-developed 390HP also may have had a few problems with floating the valves.
