RE: 1960 352hp not a 306 cam

Mike the 306 cam was not released until 63 and originaly had a "K" suffix. All Hi Po's up till that time were equiped with the "276" cam or what ever you want to call it. The carb flange is flat on a 60 because the engine sat flat till 61. T-Birds continued to sit flat. The B9 blocks were pulled off regular production and given a special dye penetrant check as were the pistons for the 360 horsers. Also FYI the rear leaf springs had the axle located in the center of the spring and in 61 they shifted it forward to help with antisquat tendancies. There was some discussion a while ago about the H-M Birds and I wrote a long post that got lost. Thee were 9 of them built with the 430 for Daytona. They had 2 shocks on each front wheel and the front end parts and floater were developed for the Lincoln's Carrera Pan Americana races. If you really want to learn whee Ford started in the racing game post war then you should read up on those exploits in Mexico and you will understand it a lot more(are you listening Shoe?). Tiger Tom Pistone had one of those Birds and managed to end up in Lake Lloyd. After that he wore a divers helmet every time he raced at Daytona as he could not swim(the original Haans device?). Johnny Beaucamp was robbed of the original victory on the new track as he was a lap ahead of Lee Petty and was slowing down at the line when the photo was taken of he and Lee and Joe as they were sailing across. Well nobody in Nascar really knew him like they did Lee and the fact that Lee was already a past champion and the grumbling of the mostly southern crowd they gave it to Petty and all was well in France land. The rivalry was on full force when Petty took him over the wall and ended both their driving careers. A few years later at the Iowa state fairgrounds Johnny pulled in with no one around and practiced with an unmarked 55 Chevy, but to no avail and he quickly realized that he was done. Too bad as he was a better driver than most. Nascar has always covered their own tracks (no pun intended) and recent wins and developments show it even more. Look at Wendell Scott for another example, or the first 427 Chevy engine or the Hemi etc,etc. At least in USAC stock cars or the old AAA races there were no favorites. Nascar sucks today worse than ever. Too bad Tony Stewart (Im no fan of his) didnt punch Gary Nelson (one of the biggest cheaters of all time) as he deserved it. Farmer Dismuke never took sides with anybody ad was respected by all if any of you remember him. Well enough of my ranting!
