		The 260 inł (4.3 L) Windsor was introduced in 1963, and increased the bore to 3.8 inches (97 mm).
		The last 5.0 L engine was produced at Cleveland Engine Plant #1 in December 2000, as part of a build ahead to supply Ford of Australia.
		Though the engine family is the same as the 289 and 302, and employs the same bell housing and head interchange as well as a few other small parts, the block itself is different.

	Ford F150 Ford's Romeo Engine Plant to Build New 4.6L 3-Valve V8
		As a part of the investment at Romeo, Ford is converting its current high-volume 2-valve 4.6-liter engine assembly line to a “flex line” to build the 4.6-liter in both 2-valve and 3-valve variants.
		With the new 3-valve design, Ford engineers discovered they were able to get many of the benefits of a 4-valve design — such as a central spark plug and symmetrical combustion chamber — using two intake valves and a single exhaust valve — with reduced weight and complexity compared with 4-valve designs.
		As an example of the engine team’s holistic approach, this improvement in peak flow also is due to a completely redesigned intake port, which provides a much straighter path to the cylinder — very similar to the approach taken in racing engines.

	Ford Y-block engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Y-block was the 1954 239 in³ (3.9 L) Ford engine; known for its deep skirting to make the engine resemble a Y. Rated at 130 hp (97 kW), it replaced the 239 in³ (3.9 L) Flathead which was rated at 106 hp (79 kW).
		It is interesting to note that both Ford and Chevrolet went to optional "big block" engines for 1958, 352 in³ (5.8 L) at Ford compared to 348 in³ (5.7 L) at Chevrolet.
		This particular version of the Y-Block engine was used in Argentina well into the eighties, and was known as Fase II (Phase II).

		Those mid-'70s to mid-'80s 351 engines had low compression and small valves, meaning they need a little more help to heat them up than an early high-performance engine or a late-model fuel-injected unit.
		Most engine builders will tell you that porting the heads on a relatively mild engine will kill your low-end torque, which is the most likely reason you feel the car is a little pokey around town.
		Additionally, increasing the stall speed on your torque converter when the engine is fairly mild--and the weight of the car is on the low side--is an unnecessary expense.

		Interestingly, the 375ci engines are based on the 8.200-deck “C” blocks, so they’ll fit under the hood of most cars without the need of a hood scoop.
		To feed the engine’s big passages, a 4500-series Dominator-style carb with a 1,050-cfm carb was needed, but there was a problem: nobody made a Dominator manifold for the small-block Ford.
