1962 - Used in the Shelby Cobra, the Mercury Comet and the Ford Fairlaine.
1963 - Used in the Shelby Cobra, the Mercury Comet, the Ford Fairlane, the
Ford Galaxy, and the Mercury Meteor
1964 - Used in the Shelby Cobra, the Mercury Comet, the Ford Fairlane, and the
Ford Falcon.
1965 - Used in the newly introduced Mustang in April 1964 and was offered only
until August.
As we can see here, the 260 HP 260 CI Ford engine is not a highly modified
"special" by any means..It incorporates a 4 bbl carb, low 9.9/1 compression
and stock heads..I believe that someone who wanted a 260 in their Tiger could
make this engine or better it, due to new materials and equipment offered
today.
