I do like that Falcon. Rare to see a Falcon of that era with a V8. The 260 V8 was the first Ford V8 in the AC Cobra, suitably souped up. Also the first V8 in the Mustang ...'64 1/2 version.

Morris is right ..the 221, 260, 289, 302 are all in the same family and same physical size. At one time , when they first came out in '62 it was the V8 that had the smallest outside dimensions, even smaller than a sbc. Good factor if you want something with lots of power potential, to squeeze it in something tight, like the Sunbeam Tiger.
