    Wow H/H, I’d totally forgotten about the old Ford 406! I assume you had a ‘62-‘63 Galaxie? I believe they only had that engine for one year. I think that was when EVERYBODY had engines over 400 cid, but Ford just had the 390. They just bored the 390 to 406 if I remember correctly. Dang, I wonder how many of those still exist?

    Body was a '60 Sunliner convertible.. engine was out of a '63.. if I remember right.. BIL is big into vintage muscle (he's a Chevy man).. Said just a few years ago, interest really piqued in these motors.. I guess Tri-power was really rare.. anyway.. said the motor would probably bring 20 grand.. (I didn't get quite that much )
    If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
