At about 7:15 there is a factually incorrect statement that needs to be cleared-up. The subject is Number 4, the 1970 Torino Cobra. The narrator states that this car was powered by the SAME engine as the BOSS 429 Mustang. Quote:It was powered by the same 429 cubic inch V8 found in the BOSS 429 Mustang..." That is PATENTLY INCORRECT!!! The engine in the BOSS 429 was the NASCAR engine with semi-hemispherical heads. The Torino Cobra came with the 429 Cobra Jet or 429 Super Cobra Jet NOT the BOSS 429. Although the 429 CJ, 429 SCJ, and the BOSS 429 shared the same 385 series big block, the CJs and the BOSS were decidedly different engines because of the different heads. I believe that this fact should be corrected and emphasized. Thank you.
High Ho is high alright , im not sure why he even did this video as most of it is wrong. Solid lifters in cars that didnt have solid cams , times all over the place . All this youtube cash has these idiots getting just stupid about posting content . This youtube craze has to end as well as all the misinformation that came along with it. Everyone looking for a quick buck , they dont give a shit if its accurate , they get paid anyway.
@@HighHosilver Many of the comments share the misinformation. 429cj and 429 Boss are not the same. Almost none of these motors had high rise intakes and solid lifters as suggested etc.
My 5460# 2014 F150 TREMOR 4x4 with the 3.5 TT engine and a MPT 93 octane tune ran the 1/4 mile in 13.721 seconds at 96.82 MPH with a 60 foot time of 1.916 seconds. Take that you muscle cars of the 60's and 70's.
All of Ford's HP figures are totally underrated for insurance purposes back in the day. My Thunderjet 429 Torino cvt. is rated at 360hp. That's a joke.
Be aware, viewers, of much misinformation found here. Neither the Boss 429 nor the 428 Cobra Jet had solid lifters. Just another disappointing video about cars uploaded on YT these days. Do your homework next time.
Thank you for your video. In the future please have someone who was alive during this era proof your content. Several years from now kids will cite videos like yours as proof that such vehicle as a 1969 Barracuda was readily available with a factory installed 426 Hemi. Sorry to say, it was not. Perhaps you're thinking of the famous exhibition drag car "Hemi under Glass" as seen most recently on one of Jay Lenos excellent videos when the vehicle rolled over with him and the driver aboard. So much for the vehicles light weight and excellent handling you stated. The 69 Barracuda formula "S" was available at any Plymouth dealer with an excellent 383 which made it a fun car for doing burnouts but not a well balanced performer like the GTO or the SS 396. Back then getting a 426 Hemi in any Mopar was a very expensive option. Much like the "Hellcats" of today. The engine was indeed very powerful but it was also very heavy as was it's very stout supporting running gear. Fuel mileage was always single digit and around town drivability wasn't great. A single carb 440 was a much cheaper way to go fast in a Mopar. Again please do you research and have an "old timer" like your grandfather verify your work. Please do this for the sake of the children!!
The narrator of this video is a JOKE! He (AI?) has no clue what is being described. Don't be so cheap! Hire someone who knows what is being talked about!
I used own a 2012 Mustang Performance Package 3.7 V6 when Ford said it had 305 hp at the crank but Ford screw up this Species all of these models always put out on a dyno these cars would put out 308 to 309 hp to rear wheels and my car put out 308 to the wheels which that meant that motor was putting out about 345 hp to the crank. This Mustang weight in at around 3800 plus lbs and had a 3.35 gear ratio in the rear and back with 6 speed manual transmission and ran the times of 3.7 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile time of 13.7 and still got a consistent 31 mpg on the highway highway and it had all of handling goods under the car and was rolling on 9 spoke black and polish wheels that were 19 x 8 with 255 40 V rated tires on it. It beat down every stock V8 up to the 4.6 L and it was only 3.7 V6 Ford stop this model in 2 nd year of production and it was stepping on the V8 s and the new up coming 4 banger with turbo charging and could beat even there highest hp 4 banger motors and boy Ford really screw up that motor it is now being in a big lawsuit against Ford. Just imagine a 3.7 L with a super charger on it or even a turbo on it would get great gas mileage and performance at the same time and The EV cars and trucks are not the answer
back in years gone by had a 68 mustang that came with a 302 motor 600 holly and headman header went nuts bought a seized 428 torino gt 4 spd 391 rear and pulled the motor for the mustang found 1 seized piston but never put the motor in the mustang as frame would need a pile of work so instead got a 351 windsor out of a cougar and put a alu hi rise and the 600 holly with the headers and shift kit c4 this car would do a faster 1/4 mile than the torino that got scraped the 428 went to a guy who put it in a pickup and you still see it at car shows
The '71 SC/360 was launched at the same time as the Sportabout wagon which was far and away the most successful Hornet model and would be built as the Eagle wagon until 1988. People didn't think of AMC for muscle cars but they had a high station-wagon take rate since the Nash Rambler days. They also had the compact wagon market to themselves just as the midsize ones got HUGE and right before the gas crunch. It would be 5 long years before the Big 3 reentered the segment, first Chrysler with the '76 Aspen-Volare then Ford and GM with the Fairmont and downsized A-bodies for '78.
True about the Thunderbolt not being a street legal car. But let's face it drag strip's are paved with asphalt. Even the starting line was asphalt back in the day. Note this guy made a lot of mistakes but he was a good listen to just the same...
1969 Boss 429, approx. 500 hp, estimated top speed of 130mph. 2002 SVT Focus. 4 cylinder. 170 hp, top speed of 135mph. . You tell me what's wrong with this picture??? LOL
@@user-qv1jz6pf1y - The stock ratio was 3.91 to 1. If you put a 3.00 to 1 in it, yes, it would have a much higher top speed but a Chevy Vega would beat it in a 0-60 run! By the way, the Boss engine was not a C.J. That designation was on the standard 429 wedge engine, but not the Boss engine.
