Nice matchup! In 1980 we had the Ford versus Chevy thing going in my little town. I had a 71C 10 short bed with a 350 built to about 425 hp, turbo 400, 373 posi that weighed only 3,500 lbs. It ran mid-12s in the quarter. I used to Street race 2 to 3 nights a week. One night we were set up for me to run three Cobra Torinos, all of which had headers, gears, aftermarket cam, etc. I showed up with slicks and open headers. The first was 351 Cleveland four-speed that I beat by 3 cars. The second one was a 429 automatic. On the first run one of my slicks got partway off the pavement when he crossed the center line and I almost flipped my truck. We agreed to run it again and I beat him by a car. Before I could line up with the last one, which was honestly the fastest car - a really hot 429 SCJ drag pack four-speed also with slicks and open headers, our lookout heard over the scanner that the highway patrol had been dispatched, so we all left. There had to be 150 spectators at that race. That was the top night of my glory days of street racing.

[@sharidavenport5283]

@@edwinfeldman8231 - I owned one! I made a bet with my husband, in mid-February of 1978, which I won, and MY prize was the Maroon 1971 Ford Torino GT Sportsroof, with a 351C, factory stock 4V, C6 Auto console shift, black interior, like this one, with the same high back buckets seats, plus hide-away headlights, (but no laser stripe, no a/c, and no rear window slats) which I had been drooling over on an almost daily basis. I had found it at a local used car dealer affiliated with a bigger Ford Dealer at the next town north, a couple of weeks prior, based on a tip from a brother-in-law who knew I was a Ford Freak. So, I won the bet, and the car was my 21st Birthday present, in February of 1978. It only had about 40,000 miles on it - very decent for a 7 year old car! We got it for a $1000 loan from our local bank, and we put $300 down on it. We had been married 2 years, no kids, no bills beyond the usual rent, utilities, groceries, etc. I drove it to the BMV in the next town (Indiana farm country, where every town is 8 miles away!) on my birthday, and licensed it. I loved that car like my own child, and took good care of her for about 15 years. Unfortunately, in the Midwest, due to the heavy use of road salt in the winter time, most cars eventually succumb to "Midwest Car Cancer," and we were unable to invest the money it would take to restore her frame long after the kids came along a few years later, and we finally bought our one and only house. But, while we had her, I drove her everywhere, including 1,000 mile road trips to the east coast to spend holidays or vacations visiting my family, and the two trips she took me to the hospital to have our kids, bring them home from there, (in car seats of course!) and every other daily adventure we took. She ended up being an "organ donor" to another similar Torino GT Sportsroof, belonging to a friend who restored them. He gave me a good price for her, but I couldn't be home when he came to get her. I just couldn't do it. I still miss her, 30 years later after we had to do that! I've still got pictures of course, but we can't post them here! I never took her to a track, or ran any real street races with her, but the impromptu performances she offered up when challenged while on the wide 4 lane, flat country highways was truly impressive. I never actually raced her against anything that was beneath her, and we won most of them. I surprised most of the other drivers, who was probably thinking that a woman in what looked like a "plain Jane grocery getter" couldn't possibly be any actual competition! Surprise!😃 I had great reaction times, and perseverance, and that's a lot of what it takes! I don't see hardly any Torinos anymore, especially not of that particular color, and I didn't even see too many of them then, when I was much younger. This Torino in the pictures looks fairly close, but it looks somewhat brighter red than mine was. But, I guess that just makes her that much more special, hmmm? 😉⚘

[@2429scj]

Camaro should have been paired with a CobraJet Mustang, then the weight difference wouldn't be 600 pounds. if the Camaro had tp put 600 pounds in his car he would have lost all 3!!!!!!! Using the given weights and their respective mph the Ford made 390 HP and the Chevy made 320HP.

@@2429scj yeah but by that logic the Camaro should've been given a 427 then. Also the stock L78 actually makes around 425 hp, maybe a touch less, but definitely more than the rated 375, so where you got 320 from I have no clue. And the 428 makes around 375 hp (sources vary on that, and much more torque than the L78) so... Not sure where you're getting your numbers.

And that Camaro is rated 375 hp, not 360, even though those same exact same motors used in Corvettes a few years earlier were rated at 425 hp, not 375.

Yeah, he came off the clutch just a bit too hard and lost traction. Just remember, though, that 429ci Ford is probably closer to 450hp stock to propel that boat to those times. In smaller cars, that 429ci SCJ has ran some insane times in stock trim.

@@mjs28s Ok sorry this is long but... Mostly based on my personal experiences in the late 70's and early 80's and common sense. Stop and think a minute. The 396 is giving up 33 CI if nothing else. The 429 has good flowing canted valve heads much like the Chevy but the bore is considerably bigger than the 396 so the valves aren't so shrouded. The 396 actually has notches in the cylinders the valves are so close. I was never all that impressed with stock or stockish 396 Chevrolets. I've driven them and they ran ok but I have also outran them with a stock 350 Corvette and a low compression 390 Ford that had headers and a Crane Fireball cam. They gained a good rep on the street but mostly because there were so many of them and a lot of them were taking on small blocks and the previous FE Ford engines ie 390-428 that the heads were kind of limited on. If you want to go Chevy vs Ford bs the 429CJ is NOT the one to pick on. The only muscle era Mopar engine a 396 would outrun is probably a 318 or possibly a 340 in an E body but not a 340 in an A body. Certainly never saw one outrun a 383 or 440 in anything.

Then it was mentioned that Motor Trend ran a 1970 Torino 429 scj with 4 speed and driver to 4206 lbs. to a 13.99 time in Feb. 1970. These times ranged so badly that I thought maybe read end as one guy stated that stock was geared 3.91 with Detroit Locker gearing being 4.30 but that couldn't be right as narrator advised 1970 Red Torino with 429scj had 4.57 factory gearing for 12.72 race vs 1969 Yenko 427 Camaro so something else had to account for difference of 1.27 seconds so what?????

What? In the 3rd round he lost traction. You can't predict that.

[@gordonborsboom7460]

Good on the Ford driver for driving it like he stole it in the last round. When you are that fat you need to just let it all hang out.

[@taylorpinkney7253]

Hey cars and zebras

[@1RAYGC]

I think you need a new driver for that Camaro.

[@carlweidman3026]

So you put a 69 car against a 70

[@CamaroZ-cr9bo]

Camaro almost stahls the clutch the first race almost losing 4th,plus gets a red loggt!! Does great the 2nd one and stahls 3rd or 4th the last one,stop worrying about your opponent driving,worry about you driving your own car snd the results are mich easier under pressure!a It'll always be close,don't try to win or lose,worry about driving and letting the car do the talking!! It works every single race!!

[@Shannon102611]

@1979 Camaro Z28 even C&Z mentioned the Camaro had traction issues. He didn't stall. He infact almost lost it and ran into the wall. But he saved it. I been there. Those big blocks can build up some momentum. Talk about beasts.

[@jaycarter9489]

you look at this old iron and think how would things have gone if the 427 cammer had been accepted as a stock car the overhead cam design produced 635 hp in the early 60s here you watch 2 newer design less hp at 14 sec 1/4 miles 4 cyl sedans nowadays, the cars in this era seemed to be infected with politics and laws now we see the overhead cam back producing hp that the best 8 cyl produced in a 4 cyl off the showroom floor with small upgrades able to compete with 427 cammer numbers just think where we would be if not for crying a---holes try to control the market

[@125southernnh2]

Poor driving.

[@bigbline405]

Torino: Ohio power plant ate a grocery store sack lunch with extra rare steak samich. Camaro: dear old rat boy racer underrated big block which blue oval got the head designs from on the 429 in a pony car body vs a intermediate (Chevelle is an intermediate body closer to the Torino Camaro is on a mustang playing field pony car get it ??) Another chapter in Ford vs Chevy hope this never has an end

[@cobracharmer6178]

Show us all the similarities between the Ford heads and the Chevy heads. A 396 with an aluminum intake vs a cast iron intake on the Ford. The only thing that got eaten for lunch is the Camaro.

[@clean1566]

That is a picture of 428ci. The 429 didn't come in that madel.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

You're Definitely Wrong on This one. That ain't No FE 428, Not Even Close, you pretty much gotta be blind to confuse an FE with a 385 Series BBF.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

There were No more FE,s coming in the 70 and Later Model Years Torino's, Other Ford Models Yes, 70 Torino Cobra Definitely No !

[@frankszymkowski7780]

Incorrect. The 70’s only had 429’s . 428’s stopped in 69

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]
