Manhattan, 1931

I don't think 1931 is the correct date.
1831 maybe.
There was a skyscraper boom going on there in the 1920's.

I thought the tri-powers were 406's?

Hey, I’m old, the memory is going. You’re probably correct.

I had a friend who was a Ford freak and I participated in conversations with him learning much. I learned there was a 332 in '58 when we were in a junk yard in Gillette, Wy and I bought a pair of 332 heads for $5 because he didn't have any money on him. They had adjustable rockers and machined combustion chambers. He said only they, and CJ heads had those chambers. He put them on a 390 in his '57 Courier (sedan delivery) with a top loader. It ran pretty good

I kinda remember 292 & 312’s. Think you’re right on 406’s.

Glad my 1.4 turbo takes "40" weight euro spec (formerly Ferrari spec) oil.

The 2.4 takes 20 weight.

My wife's 2020 hyundai kona has a "watch" order with 20,000 mile inspections due to "piston rings could be too hard" issue.

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.
