Ford Stocker idea?

[Fred Holdorf]

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!

P.S. These are from my observations back in 1963 to 68.

What really heats my motor is that Ford developed the "GT" head in the 60's and never released them until the 93 Cobra Mustang. All us small block lovers could really have used them but Ford's attitude was racers all want big blocks.

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

There is a large sign on that car that says "THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE!"
