Carguy29,
I know a young guy that just put a 428 Tri-Power in a 67' Firebird that belongs to his Dad...The car sat for quite a few years and he wanted to fix it back up and get it running so his Dad could drive it again..... |

The 428 Cobra-jets are cool too.

Yes they are, and I'm certain my racing buds Dennis Alvey, Brian Pott, Rusty Hall, and Richie Pauley (amongst many others), would strongly agree with you!!!!

Especially the Boss 429 Mustang, not to downplay the other 429s. Let's not forget the 429 Cadillac, also.

What a powerful month that's coming to an end with the hp rating of the Chevy 427 L88 rated at 430hp.
However, Ford had one more dog in this fight thanks to the 430 MEL (Mercury Edsel Lincoln), that had 400hp, and was the premiere engine in the 1958 Mercury Super Marauder. "It's torque rating of 510 ft lbs is still a phenomenal number"....(circa curbsideclassic.com). Hope y'all had a great MUSCLE MOTOR MONTH, and to those fortunate enough to race those monsters of the strip(s), count your blessings and I hope you enjoyed the annual tribute to the mills within the fender walls of your quarter-mile toys!

This sounds like a story of Dad and Mom doing a great job of raising kids and then son doing this for Dad. Kudos to both the parents and son, a feel good story for sure.
