Answer 2

In the 1960's Ford built a variety of big-block engines.
390, 406, 426, 427, 428, 429, and 430 cubic inch engines.
The high performance 428 and 429's were rated at the highest horsepower output, generally one horsepower per cubic inch of engine displacement.
(406's were used in 1963/64, and the 430's were used in the big Lincolns and Thunderbirds.)
