in dat der Briar Patch!
 CH> Should be a 460.  Than engine was used from 1969 to the late 70's.
 CH> A rather decent engine, actually.  Still quite a bit of racing
 CH> equipment available - even right from Ford.  As far as fitting in
 CH> the Fairlane, I'd say not easily.  Ford made the special race-only
 CH> Thunderbolt with a similar sized 427 FE engine.  It took a lot of
 CH> work to get it to clear the shock towers.
Didn't Ford move those shock towers to accomodate the 427 back then?  Not in 
the stock Fairlanes, but the Thunderbolts.  If  you don't know, my Hub drove 
one of those for the factory, I'll ask him...
...   You asked for it and you know it!
