1. [Tigers] More cubes for Tiger (score: 1): Author: "rande" <rande@thecia.net>; Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 07:13:21 -0500; Shelby gets blamed for a few things, rightly or wrongly, concerning the Tiger race car performance, but I think he's probably in the clear concerning why Rootes decided to buy 260's. My hunch is that; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00294.html (7,766 bytes)

We don't know the correct answers and apparently no one asked the people who do know for a first hand account. According to Bob Mannel's book: The 289 wa; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00296.html (9,680 bytes)

Re: [Tigers] More cubes for Tiger (score: 1): Author: "Thomas Witt" <atwittsend@verizon.net>; Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 09:47:52 -0800; It seems very interesting that the 289 was available (at least to Ford) in the 1963 model year, yet Rootes did not use the 289 until their 1967 model year. To my knowledge the 260 stopped being used; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00300.html (11,630 bytes)

Re: [Tigers] More cubes for Tiger (score: 1): Author: "Scott Hutchinson" <shutchin@netjets.com>; Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 13:43:34 -0500; I imagine a deal was made sometime in the early sixties based on a prototype. The prototype had a 260. Somebody very high up at Ford said 'you can have 7,000 some odd 260s for x dollars/pounds'. If t; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00302.html (9,071 bytes)

I think we're all talking about an inventory issue here. Although Ford may have quit making 260s at some point in time, it may have taken years to ship them all and h; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00305.html (10,615 bytes)

Re: [Tigers] More cubes for Tiger (score: 1): Author: " Ron Fraser" <rfraser@bluefrog.com>; Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:50:50 -0500; According to Bob Mannel's book; Ford last cast the 260 block July 1965 and assembled the last 260 engines in the fall of 1965 which is the 1966 Ford model year. These 260 blocks are the ones painted; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00306.html (10,897 bytes)

Re: [Tigers] More cubes for Tiger (score: 1): Author: "Thomas Witt" <atwittsend@verizon.net>; Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:55:54 -0800; Wait..., I think I have solved the whole matter (LOL): Ford refuses to sell Rootes 289's because they need them for their own production (Mustangs especially). Thus, they offered Rootes 260's at a go; /html/tigers/2011-01/msg00309.html (12,392 bytes)
