In the early 60s, in the Ford line, the best hot rod motor was 427 CI engine introduced in 1963. In 1962, they offered a 406 CI for one year, as I recall. In 1961, the 390 CI was the top offering. Prior to that, it was just the 352 CI.

The T Bird offered a 430 CI engine borrowed from Lincoln from 1958 to 1963, I think.

The 406 & 427 models were they only ones that would develop real power.
