Includes the 255, 260, 289, 302, 351C, 351M, 351W, 360, 390, 400, 428, 429 and 460 cubic inch engines.\n\u003cp\u003eFord was unique in that it had two very different big-block engine designs during the height of the muscle car era. The \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal FE engine\u003c\/strong\u003e design was pioneered in the late 1950s, primarily as a more powerful replacement for the dated \u003cstrong\u003eY-block design\u003c\/strong\u003e. What began as torquey engines meant to move heavyweight sedans morphed into screaming high-performance mills that won \u003cstrong\u003eLe Mans\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edrag racing championships\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the late 1960s, the \u003cstrong\u003eFE design\u003c\/strong\u003e was dated, so Ford replaced it with the 385 series, also known as the \u003cstrong\u003eLima design\u003c\/strong\u003e, in displacements of 429 and 460 ci, which was similar to the canted-valve Cleveland design being pioneered at the same time. It didn’t share the FE pedigree of racing success, mostly due to timing, but the new design was better in almost every way; it exists via Ford Motorsports’ offerings to this day. Beginning in 1971, the 429 found its way between the fenders of \u003cstrong\u003eMustangs\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTorinos \u003c\/strong\u003ein high-compression 4-barrel versions called the \u003cstrong\u003eCobra Jet\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSuper Cobra Jet\u003c\/strong\u003e, and they were some of the most powerful passenger car engines Ford had ever built. If the muscle car era had not died out shortly after the release of these powerful engines, without a doubt, the 429 performance variants would be ranked with the legendary big-blocks of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this revised edition of How to Rebuild Big-Block Ford Engines, now titled \u003cstrong\u003eFord 429\/460 Engines: How to Rebuild\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ford expert \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e covers all the procedures, processes, and techniques for rebuilding your 385 Series big-block.
