@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp Wow, sounds like Ford's engines have a better track record of getting banned than I do at parties!Thanks for sharing this insightful information! The history of NASCAR and its regulations is definitely fascinating, especially how certain engines were banned due to their performance.

@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp Absolutely! The 427 SOHC really laid the groundwork for so many incredible engines that followed. It’s fascinating to see how its legacy continues to influence modern engineering at Ford.

@davefellhoelter1343 Thank you for sharing your awesome car stories! It’s always great to hear from fellow enthusiasts who appreciate the legacy of these classic engines and their impact on our lives. i owned a galixy LTD 72 convertable was a absolute boat, no fuel gauge , i used to run out of gas and just enjoy the moments

@duanepayne1805 It’s true! The BOSS 429 had its challenges on the drag strip, until they turbo it

@Willie-bk2es The claim that Chevrolet/GM threatened to leave NASCAR to force a ban on Hemi engines is **partially rooted in historical events but conflates timelines and motivations. Here's the clarified breakdown: --- Key Context & Truth: 1. 1963 GM Withdrawal: - General Motors (including Chevrolet) voluntarily withdrew from factory-backed racing in 1963 to comply with the Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA) ban (a 1957 industry-wide pact to avoid overt factory racing involvement). This decision was not directly tied to Chrysler’s Hemi engines, which were not yet dominant at the time. GM’s exit left private teams to race with existing engines, including the Mystery Motor. 2. Chrysler’s 426 Hemi & NASCAR’s 1965 Ban: - In 1964, Chrysler debuted the 426 Hemi, which dominated NASCAR. In response, NASCAR introduced the **“Homologation Rule” in 1965, requiring engines to be available in at least 500 production cars. Chrysler hadn’t yet mass-produced the Hemi, so NASCAR temporarily banned it, prompting Chrysler to boycott the 1965 season. - GM was already out of factory racing by this point and played no direct role in this ban. The pressure likely came from Ford, which capitalized on Chrysler’s absence in 1965. 3. 1966 Resolution: - Chrysler reintroduced the 426 Hemi as a “Street Hemi” in 1966, meeting NASCAR’s production requirement. The Hemi returned and dominated again, but GM remained uninvolved (still adhering to the AMA ban). --- Why the Confusion? - The Mystery Motor (1963) and Hemi ban (1965) occurred close together, leading to myths that GM pressured NASCAR. However: - GM’s 1963 exit was unrelated to the Hemi. - The 1965 Hemi ban stemmed from NASCAR’s rules and Ford’s lobbying, not GM. - GM did not threaten to leave NASCAR over the Hemi-they’d already left. --- Legacy of the Myth: - The story persists because GM’s withdrawal (1963) and the Hemi’s troubles (1965) overlap in a chaotic era of NASCAR’s “horsepower wars.” - While GM’s absence indirectly benefited Ford during Chrysler’s 1965 boycott, there’s no evidence GM strong-armed NASCAR to ban the Hemi. --- Summary: - False: GM did not threaten to leave NASCAR to ban the Hemi. - True: NASCAR banned the 426 Hemi in 1965 due to homologation rules, influenced by Ford’s lobbying, not GM. - GM’s 1963 exit was a separate corporate decision tied to the AMA ban. Let me know if you’d like deeper dives into specific events! 🏁

@paintnamer6403 I really appreciate your detailed comment! It’s always great to hear from someone who knows their stuff. Your knowledge adds so much depth to the conversation!

@delanolucas614 Absolutely! The Lincoln crank was a game-changer for the BOSS 429, enhancing its performance and making it a true powerhouse on the streets.

@delanolucas614 Ouch! Sorry to hear you didn't like it! What could I do better next time? it might be my disabitys dyslexia and autisim is a fun combination, i might not get it right, i do however never give up , and stay curious, not judge MENTAL, i wish you well!

@thomasjones613 I appreciate your feedback! Everyone has their preferences, and it's totally okay to feel that way about AI narration. we did have a real voice over artist , but it was costing $50 per video that would have cost us $1500 so far , i am sure we will make an sdjustment in the future as we get more subs, members, and support, thank you !

@randybeckham2827 The BOSS 429 was definitely a game-changer in the muscle car world! Let me know what you’re curious about, and I’ll be happy to help!

@riccicrozzie8204 It's definitely a fascinating topic! The advancements in AI can be both exciting and a bit concerning, depending on how you feel mentally

@p71glh I understand that AI voices aren't for everyone! If you ever decide to give it a chance, I hope you find some interesting insights in the video.

@Rogueginger69 Thank you for pointing that out! The nuances of racing regulations really highlight the challenges these engines face. I appreciate your insight!

@JohnDickerson-d7m are you ok?

@JohnDickerson-d7m You're absolutely right! The 429/460 big block C engines have such a rich history in the automotive world. Thanks for sharing your insight!

@RonMcMahan-b2d Thanks for your input! It's great to see fellow enthusiasts like you catching those details! my spelling gets worse will have to hire Ai to double check!

@TheArkDoc You make some great points about the 427 SOHC's power! would make it win 100% It's definitely interesting to think about how different things might have been if it hadn't been banned from NASCAR. Both engines have their strengths, but the debate will always be fun!

@robviousobviously5757 It sounds like you had quite the experience with your Pantera! Those classic cars can definitely be a mix of beauty and frustration. Thanks for sharing your story! 351 cleavlands in those pants was awsome!

@gfisher495 you are awsome Glenn, always brightening up youtub community , thank you kindly

@427Copo-em1xb You are correct. Connie Kalitta was not the first driver to exceed 200 mph in U.S. drag racing. The milestone of being the first to break the 200 mph barrier in a sanctioned NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) event belongs to Don "Big Daddy" Garlits. Key Details: Date: September 5, 1964 Event: U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis Achievement: Garlits drove his Swamp Rat IV top fuel dragster to a speed of 201.34 mph in the quarter-mile, marking the first official 200+ mph pass in NHRA history. Context: Prior to Garlits' record, dragsters were approaching but hadn't yet cracked 200 mph. His achievement was a watershed moment, showcasing advancements in nitro-burning engine technology and aerodynamics. Connie Kalitta, known as "The Bounty Hunter," was a prominent drag racer in the 1960s and 1970s but did not hold the distinction of being the first to reach 200 mph. Garlits' accomplishment solidified his legacy as a drag racing pioneer, while Kalitta remains celebrated for his contributions to the sport as a driver and team owner.

@dbireland2003 Right? The BOSS 429 and the 351 Cleveland are just pure muscle! Can't get enough of those classic engines!

@CharlesWinters-ie3jy Thanks for sharing your insights! It's interesting to hear about the real-world performance of the BOSS 429. Sounds like your friend has quite the project lineup!

@D800Lover Wow, must be quite the lawnmower! I can see it now: the grass doesn’t stand a chance against that horsepower!

@rarecarstorys - Of course, roots and all go flying. I tow it behind my muscle car, I have a big back yard.

@ronhall3686 That's a great point! The 427 "sock" definitely had some interesting nicknames. It really highlights the unique history and culture around these engines! i like the 90 day wonder

@kevinroberts8441 I appreciate your feedback! Let me know if there's something specific you'd like to see improved in future videos. instead of just hatred towards Ai ?

@briancool3110 You make a great point! Ford has indeed produced some legendary engines, and it's a shame they didn't get the chance to shine longer on the track. what do you think NHRA problem with ford comes from?

Hi racecarstorys I think don’t know if Iam correct but NHRA likes to have GM products win because the fans like that more and the weight brakes for most Ford products is more HP to CI . Just my opinion

@shanebrbich5698 Totally get it! Sometimes those AI voices can be a bit much. We’re working on making things more enjoyable for everyone!

@craigfisher9713 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The 429 SCJ is indeed one of the baddest motors! , and it's always fun to explore the different legends in Ford's history.

my brother had a 1969 Cobra with the 428 cj. Its redline was 5200 and it topped out at 120 mph at 6000 rpm. It sure could lay rubber! 2 stripes 50 ft long! A friend of mine in high school drove a 1970 cobra 429 scj because his dad was a salesman at the Ford dealer. That thing was fast!! It blew away my 69 Chevelle SS396 AND my brother's Cobra. But none them compare with 2015 Mustang GT Premium I bought for my wife 10 years ago. That thing hit 160 in half a mile and was still pulling hard when I chickened out. And I had the convertible top down too! It didn't drift one bit nor did it twitch either. Ford did the S550 RIGHT!

@henrybobswillikers I appreciate your feedback! It's always a challenge to get the facts right, but I'm glad you found the topic interesting. what would you sudgest?

@eugenepolan1750 I appreciate your input! It's always helpful to know what viewers prefer. I'll look into it!

@bobuncle8704 I appreciate your feedback! I always strive to improve and will definitely take a closer look at the the insightful details you gave . kzbin.info/door/1LFwBRy9-ENQ5I20vxw08gjoin

@Kevin-red2002 Right? I was half-expecting a floppy disk to pop out while editing that segment! Commodore 64 vibes definitely strong with this one! 😂

@TheReal1953 It's interesting how different engines performed on the track. The 428 certainly had its strengths, and it's great to see the discussion around Ford's engineering choices!

@stephenvelden295 Drop the AI? But what if it starts a rebellion? I like my robot overlords too much for that!

@buildingracingvideos4714 The Hemi definitely set a high standard in the racing world, and it’s fascinating to see how different engines have shaped motorsport history. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@Charles-w9b You make a great point! Simplifying timing could have changed the game for Ford. It's interesting to think about how technology and engineering have evolved over the years. do you think the 90 days contributed to this obvious problem?
