I love those too!! 5 years ago I came across one for 5400 beans.The drivetrain was all redone.Body was rough, but big deal for 54oo bucks!! His wife pulled me aside and said hell take 4500!!85_SS_302_Coupe said:Yeah i knew they were making cars but i didn't know about that. Actually (and some may laugh on this one) but for most of my life my dream car was a '70 BM 454 Camaro, but these days it's more like a 351C Pantera GT5.
85_SS_302_Coupe said:I almost had a '70 split bumper with a stroked 350/350 turbo trans...it was pretty healthy but yeah, i couldn't get the cash either. I'd say i'm definately a Ford guy but the older cars get, the less i care as long as they're musclecars

LOL,,but NEVER a Mustang IIMustang_Punk said:I agree! I would love just about any 60's or 70's muscle car, hell i'd even like to have a Gremlin X (had a 360 I think) Im currently looking for a Pinto to turn drag car, I would love to have a Charger or Nova (one of the old Chevy II ones) but those cars just aren't in my price range, I'll probably end up with a Maverick which is still way cooler than a Civic!
GTOReturns said:Well there is "one" car that will never fetch a handsome price, and thats a good thing. Because IMO its the ugliest car ever made to date!! It looks like an upside down fishbowl. Anyone wanna guess? its an AMC.
86bluecobra said:I think anyone who says I'm wrong when i say that, "equally equipped 429's make less power then 460's" has got to be smoking something. That would be like saying a 351w with same cam heads and intake makes more HP then the 408 stroked version equiped the same way. If it has more cubes and it is built the same as long as it is built with enough intake air and enough room to get rid of the exhaust the 460 is going to make more power then the 429. I bet it is easier to make 600 + ponies with the 460 then with the 429.
GTOReturns said:It a matter of who has the most money! "How fast you wanna go? How much money you got"Back to factory motors. Im not a big Ford guy, whats the most HP/Torque from a 429 and a 460? I know the 460 was a torque monster in the F-250, but didnt the 429 come with 375HP one year?
Me too! Just for availability. 460's are pretty popular. When was the last 429 made? 1971?GSP393 said:I'd go for the 460 over the 429, I've always heard "there's no replacement for displacement" until a genius at fbftech said otherwise.
Give me a 427 side oiler or a cammer 427.GTOReturns said:Guys dont get me wrong, I love the 460. In fact in high school a kid had a 1979 F-250 with a 460 his father built,it was the 2nd fastest car in the school.(a 69 Nova SS w/396 was 1st) watching that truck do a hole shot made the prettiest sound you ever heard!!
But some guys just keep bringing up bad stuff. To compare a factory Cobra Jet to a 427 chevy is just rediculous.. A 1967-69 427 L-88 made 560HP.It was grossly underated for insurance purposes at 435HP. What did the CJ make?
While were on the subject mr anti-ford, View attachment 434764. 427 SOHC = low 7's- low 8's. That comet ran 8.30GTOReturns said:I said PRODUCTION car. The T-Bolt was built purely for drag racing. If you wanted to include specialty cars I would include The Baldwin Motion Phase III Vega.Can you say 9's!!But this was the car that killed Baldwin Motion by the government!!
