Older Stockers

Danny, after 57, there were no more 312s, and the 292s were all 2 barrels. As for the 332 cube FE, I doubt that would be very good, considering a 1964 352 has 20 more cubes, and is rated at 15 HP less (250HP). I think Ford rated their engine HP numbers way to high for most of their cars in the old days, at least until the 428 Cobra Jet came out in 68, at 335HP (10 HP LESS than the small valve, cam, carb 428 big car engine.)

P.S., I own an origional 1959 Ford 2 door sedan with a 332 and 2 speed auto, building a Stocker out of it was never a consideration!
