In theory, yes. Doesn’t always work out that way though.

My first car was a later/3rd generation 66 of the pictured's model. The pic might be a 1960.
Mine had an inline 200 engine.( Didn't need removed fortunately or I might be another inch shorter.)

More trivia...

[In 1960, Ford's Canadian subsidiary introduced the Falcon-based Frontenac. It was designed to give Mercury-Meteor dealers a smaller model to sell, since the Comet was originally intended as an Edsel, which was sold by Ford-Monarch dealers. Produced for the 1960 model year only, the Frontenac was essentially a rebadged 1960 Falcon with its own unique grille, tail lights, and external trim, including red maple-leaf insignia. Despite strong sales (5% of Ford's total Canadian output), the Frontenac was discontinued and replaced by the Comet for 1961.]

440 punched 30 over purple cam roller rocker.

Had the same in a /72 Charger, 4 speed, shaker hood All I can remember is 440-30 over as I didn't do the build.
It would do 90 mph in 2nd gear.
Going up a long hill the gas gauge was like a minute hand, heading to the E.

My first car was a 61 Falcon. I remember that while riding, I could look down into the newer cars around me from my higher perch.

I recall that I gave one boss a two week notice once. Retroactive two weeks!

Last I checked, he still had that novelty pinned up to his bulletin board! He laughed sooooo hard!!! 🤣
