I bought a very early run 4.0l SOHC in my 1998 Explorer. One engine and two sets of timing chains later Ford realized it wasn't that great right away. Any wonder why somebody would be afraid of HEI when it first came out?
People were afraid of "those new fangled disk brakes" when they first came out too. So I guess I'm not surprised to see somebody delete something like HEI when it first came out.
I was always told 1974 was the first year for HEI. I know my 72 Malibu was points from the factory.
