Make The Most Of Your Inline Mustang's Potential (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_1102_how_to_improve_six_cylinder_mustang_perf ormance/index.html)Ford's lightweight six-cylinder engine debuted in the '60 Falcon and Mercury Comet as the 144ci six. It's strong on reliability but not much on power. A year later, Ford upsized the 144 to 170 ci with an increase in stroke, which improved power but didn't rock the planet. When the Mustang was introduced in April 1964, it got the Falcon's improved seven main bearing 170ci six as standard equipment. Producing 105 horsepower at 4,400 rpm, this engine's message was never about power but more about economy for buyers who needed a fuel stingy, reliable powerplant.
