if i could put in any motor with around 351 cubes in it id drop in a 351 cleveland. Then stroke it and you will have one badass machine. Not saying ls motors aint good motors id just rather stick with ford

Yeah, when you copy the best you're bound to have some success

technically it wasnt a copt because the Mopar motor has a "Hemispherical" combustion Chamber, Fords was "Crescent" Shaped.

Lol, I'm just stirring the pot anyway. I love 60's NASCAR, I never even look at it now. I've never seen a two door rwd Fusion, ever. Or a Pushrod Toyota V8 for that matter

NASCAR is Totally BS, but back it the day it was real racing with stock cars which made it cool.... Now its just WWF Wrestling with 4 Wheels.

....60's racing for the win.... I have seen a Boss 429 up close and personal.... the motor Fills the ENTIRE bay...its crazy

I know, it's hilarious that the mod motors are nearly the same external size, with none of the coolness

yeah, the heads on the Motor are HUGE and make the whole engine bay stand out.

Just compare it to a 4.6 Cobra... kinda funny how after 40 years you can see the similarities

The original SOHC looked alot meaner, IMO. Drop that in a SN, FTW!

Ford was doing radical thing back in the day.

My dad used to show me Pics when i was little about the Boss 429 Crescent and the original SOHC

No prices, on anything, you know what they say if you have to ask, lol. That would be money way better spent than on a Porsche or something though. Those thing's made like 600 hp out of the box.

Ah, I long for the days when you could BUY a car with a swiss cheesed frame, acid dipped body, or insane 12:1 OHC race motor and drive it home lol.
