Description
While many will be familiar with 1960 Ford racing programmes using the very compact, pushrod Small Block V8, few know the facts behind the technology at Ford during this time. This book gives insight into the confident, logical approach of engineers working at Ford’s Engine & Foundry Division – engineers who made outstanding technical decisions, leading to many major events being won using larger capacity derivatives of the 1961 221ci Small Block V8 production engine, introduced by Ford mid-1961 for fitting into 1962-model year intermediate Fairlanes and Mercurys.
AC Cobra 1962-1967, GT40 1964-1969, Lotus-Ford Indianapolis cars 1963-1965, 289ci and 302ci racing Mustangs 1965-1970
