Re: Ford Stocker idea?
Somebody that loves their Fords needs to petition NHRA for a much smaller HP factor on the 289/271. I'm just shootin' from the hip but I'll bet 250 or so would be more appropriate as a starting point. It's basically a high compression larger cam & slightly better intake than the 289/225, right? Ports are the same and the screw in studs are not a bonus anymore. Neither is the solid lifter cam in todays world.

Which leads me to a question, is anybody using the aluminum heads on a 289? |
Re: Ford Stocker idea?
Jeff & John, From memory we had trouble making power from the 271 HP (HI-Po) heads back in the day, due to the heart shaped chambers. Ford used them to up the compression. They shrouded the stock sized valves and we found more power in standard heads with big valves. You are correct all the SBF heads, I saw had the same size ports. There were some expiremental heads that Doug Nash, on his Bronco Funny Car, ran that he could not talk about. Old mother Ford helping us little guys, NOT!
Fred P.S. These are from my observations back in 1963 to 68. |

According to the NHRA engine classification guide, 68 Falcon/Mustang was available with a 4 barrel and 10.1 compression, with little bitty valves and a small camshaft.
Anybody traveling between Las Vegas and Phoenix Az, there is a real nice 68 V8 Falcon sitting in Wickenburg along the east side of 93. I have been going to stop and see it is for sale, but as usually always running late |
