The special rally version of the Falcon and Comet and early AC Cobra sports cars of 1962 used a high - performance version of the 260 with higher compression, hotter camshaft timing, upgraded connecting rods, valves with larger diameter valve stems, stronger valve springs and a four - barrel carburetor.
