I much prefer 70 & 71's, but that is pretty cool.
A good friend in high school had a 71 Torino GT with a 4-bbl Cleveland that ran good (second fastest at my high school). Looking back it probably needed valve springs, but he bent, and I helped replace, at least 2 or 3 pushrods. |

I've found a couple 71s, both cobra jet cars. A 351CJ and a 428CJ.
The BB car was nice and over $20K. The windsor car was nice as well, but it was green with a light brown interior ... yuck. |

428? Should be a 9. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I realize it is one CI, but they are completely different gihougous chunks of cast iron. After R&Ring the intake on a 390 Ford Truck, decided I hate FE's lol. That thing weighed about 100 pounds IIRC. When are you going to look? I would like to tag along. On a side note, how much can you tow with that thing? That is the kind of tow vehicle I could get behind. |

You are right ... 428s were done in 69 weren't they.
Still gathering some info ... like where it is. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Steve, Glenn and I will be at MSR-C Saturday morning for a 1/2 day TnT. If you could make it out, it would be a huge help. I'll buy you lunch. |

I will never understand why they thought that giant intake and tiny heads was a good idea. The best use for a cast iron FE intake? Boat anchor. |
