crispy23c Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Mine was in my first car, a '69 Mach 1. It came with the 351 Hi-Po Windsor (known as the 351 CJ in the Shelbys). 300 Hp from the factory, solid lifters, longer duration cam, factory semi-high rise, 10.5:1 compression (if I remember right). Blew the motor in the 2nd week I owned it (throttle cable was frayed, and it was stuck wide open--nearly got killed-- but I digress). Anyway, that forced me (with the help of my older brother) to rebuild the thing at 16 1/2 years old. Bored the block, honed, ported & polished it. Shaved heads. Holley 650 dual feed. Came out with about 400 hp. The thing screwed!!!!!. The only race I lost was to a SD455 T/A with open headers. He pulled away @ 140. He had to slow down to ask me what I had! Ohhhh, yeah! You should have seen his jaw drop when I told him I had a "small block" with stock exhaust, over 100 cubes less. Ahhh, memories! B) How about you???

JETSOLVER Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 BOSS "9" Hands down the powerplant I would want in a project. And apparently Mr. Colletti agree's... :P I've owned several FE motors and of course the 5.0 in my 94 but I gotta tell you that the TEKSID cast all AL , hand made 7500 rpm little screamer in my COBRA puts a smile on my face EVERY time I run through first/second. It truly sounds like no other car on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It truly sounds like no other car on earth. thank you for sharing that picture. I have a new dream the old iron 429 was always my favorite engine- from my first car, 25 yrs ago...reading up on the non hemi street versions there are some neat little tidbits Ive found...cj/scj/police supposedly had wristpins offset to help straighten rod angles a bit earlier on powerstroke...might be common today, but that was earliest I'd ever read of its use. Also, the rod/stroke ratio is almost identical to the 426hemi...no other engine over 400 cubes is anywhere close...I think theres magic in that number somewhere... jetsolver, that injected alloy boss9 is one of the coolest things I have ever seen- cannot even imagine the performance/sound...that is truly an awesome piece of work.

GERII Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 My Favorite Engine would have to br the HiPo 289. Nice power through the whole range, and decient MPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil95GT Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm going to go with the 351W. When it comes to torque, potential, and out of the box power, I'd chose one over my current five liter engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69boss429 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I love the way a properly set up 289 sounds at 7000 rpm,but there is nothing like the sound of the Boss 429 Ford hemi even through the mufflers !!My Webpage When both carbs are wide open it is amazing!

Aussie XAXB Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Mine is the Australian 351 Cleveland with 2V 302C heads. This is mainly because the heads that were cast for the 302 Cleveland (yes, you read right). They were closed chambered designs that had intake valves that were 2.032"-2.050". This is bigger than the famous "Fuelie" GM heads, flowed better at all RPM's, and were not overly huge like US made 351C 4V heads that only came into their own at high RPM. They also had the canted valve design going for them. With small and closed chambers, big valves but not oversized, they are pretty incredible.

svttim Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Boy, tough call and all so far are good choices. I have to go with a 429 CJ/SCJ Of coures I may be bias as I have a 71 Mach 1 with a 429 Cant argue against the 427's either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cugotit Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 NICE HUGGER ORANGE MUSTANGS !!!! :tease: Just kidding. This is incredible ! I have seen those three Mustangs grouped together before. The 289/302 has got to be the best sounding engine out there. 7-9000 rpm, going around the track in Shelby gt 350s and Boss 302s is a great reminder of the Trans-Am days. If any of you get a chance to go to a Vintage Trans Am race, you should really go. They have a web site at "vintagetransam. com" with scheduling.

Secondo Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 The 351C-4V is my favorite, Max Rocketansky would approve!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_ford Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I guess my favorite would have to be the 428CJ. I love my 427 alloy tunnel port with 2-4's but I've had several 428CJ's and they are so much more streetable and still have tons of power potential. Of course I won't sneeze at the 5.4 SC in my new Gt500 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Not a FORD fan myself but I had a 67 Galaxy 500 fastback with a 289 H.O. that was pretty dang strong! I've always respected the 5.0's and I'm really impressed with the 4.6 in the Mustang, not in the truck. Diesel you can't beat the 7.4, may she rest in piece. Of course all of these engines usually resided in the cars I regularly saw in the rear view mirror of my Camaro's. The 350 is the best engine ever!!

fastfords Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Yes, 427's they used to call them Ford's world beater engine. Earned this name in almost every kind of racing you can think of. I have a C5AE H/M 427 sideoiler for my 67' clone project. Shelby C7ZX 2 x 4 intake with dual 710 cfm holleys. That ought to wake up the neighbors. Can't wait to get started on it.
