I thought the tri-powers were 406's?
406's were only produced a couple of years; 1962 and 1963, I think. The 427's came out as '63 1/2, and that was the end of the 406. The 406 was available available as single 4 barrel or 3 X 2's. 352, 390, 406, and 427 were members of the FE (Ford, Edsel) engine family. A unique feature of this design was that the pushrods went through the intake manifold, and the valve covers actually covered part of the manifold and the heads.
The 383, 410, 430, and 462 were in the MEL (Mercury, Edsel, Lincoln) engine family of a different, concurrent design. The 430 was usually a Lincoln motor, but was optional on some SquareBirds.
