[Tigers] tiger blocks

[Gary]

I agree with the freeze plug and motor mount spacing information, but the
author is incorrect in the first paragraph where is states "the 289 can not be
bored out for fitment of the 302 pistons." The 289 and 302 have the same
4.000" bore. The 302 does have slightly deeper cylinder walls to minimize
piston slap at BDC due to the longer stroke. The author probably meant the 260
can not be bored out for fitment of the 289 and 302 pistons.

Thought this site might be of interest in the Tiger freeze plug discussion.
If he is correct, all 260's have three freeze plugs.

Yes,  the 260 tiger blocks had three freeze plugs like a 289,  other Fords
with 260's had two freeze plugs on the each side of the block,  Clyde
