Ford’s FE big block, 1958 to 1976: the 352 Interceptor, the 390 from the Galaxie’s two-barrel to the Fairlane GT and the Thunderbird’s M-code 3x2, the 406 on three two-barrels and the Cobra’s 427 on two four-barrels, and the 428 Police Interceptor and Cobra Jet, with Ram Air for the Shelby GT500. With Toploaders, a Borg-Warner T-10, the Cruise-O-Matic and the C6, and two engines at the speed shops: the 427 on its Weber cross-ram, as in the GT40, and a 428 Cobra Jet crate engine with headers.
