514 mercury capri VS 408 ford mustang

sabotage vs 408stang (hugo vs rodrigo)

[@KevinWong]

Race is at 1:50 Your welcome.

[@MetalAsPhuk]

Let's go race on the dustiest road we can find and I will stick my carb through the hood with no air filter!! good job..

[@tommy23490]

You know they are faster without air cleaners. Right?

[@MetalAsPhuk]

tommy23490. not much faster with 6lbs of sand in your carb

[@tommy23490]

I was joking bud..

[@MetalAsPhuk]

Haha. Who knows man... KZbin

[@drifter9425]

All those telephone poles make me cringe i would never race on that street

[@gorillacookies3451]

Handling issues were obvious in the capri with that 700 lb + big block in it

[@randallbates9020]

That Mercury is a sexy tight looking machine. I have a 4 eyed fox, 1983 GT with a 302 5speed tremec and a small riser with a street dominator on it. Lots of fun rowing through the gears in it. I had a 1990 LX with the 302 5speed, car was extra clean 1 owner car but unfortunately I ran into some financial problems and sold it to save my ass. The only car that I always wanted in my 60 years and never got was an 82 - 86 Mercury Capri, I prefer them over the mustang and have owned at least 30 Mercury cars through the years. I seriously doubt that I could afford a solid clean and straight one,but I do live in Arizona so there is always hope. Again nice cars both.

[@branon6565]

How about upgrading the Capri's suspension to compensate for that badass 514, and then find 2 guys who actually know how to pilot those rigs....

[@davidmiller4594]

You gotta start somewhere. And everyone started at the beginning.

[@Daws867]

awesome race...been trying to find a decent 5.0 Capri or notchback but the prices are through the roof...makes me sick thinking about my 86 5.0...letting it go for 4k pretty clean car also...thing would be worth minimum 14 k now...anyone know a good forum or place to search

[@drvn1]

Looked like the 408 had the top end pull. neither car really seemed to "launch" Both left at low RPM's...

[@chrismad1344]

Bad ass Capri!

[@brettslater8219]

Annnnnnd the 514 is burnt!

[@RedFox5.O]

man who knew a street race could be so complicated lol

[@capri8225]

The ol Capri was trying to run the stang off the road

[@bsta030274]

Is he runnin open carb? No filter

[@Foxstang4life]

Yea ok 514 cubic inch vs 408 cubic inch ?? I would bet not

[@mibd7812]

They both powerful set ups

[@JorgePalomo-u2u]

Ok

[@captainhowdy9557]

Lx wins and the first 1:50 was a wast durp

[@Mangobrain82]

My god where is this beautiful piece of road??? its in the middle of nowhere

[@marco5.025]

Mangobrain82 iverson road , Gonzalez Ca

[@spoonfixer]

Not buying that a 514 is in that capri. No way!

[@eriv4735]

Why are you not buying it??..A crate stock big block got run down by a very well built small block get over it

[@kevinm3702]

It's completely possible. Probably a stroked 460 with the stock p.o.s. heads

[@ssimon64]

Lol

[@freddieshields5697]

The only reason the was ahead(he didn't won he crossed) when the Capri crossed mustang lifted!

[@Miromen69]

wow,a 3 minute vid for 20 seconds of race...lmao

[@teejay9957]

Arms were up, Capri left. Would of been a win for the Stang at the strip.

[@brandonmilburn7517]

tee jay chase is a race

[@painhour]

1:53

[@MiBurnout]

Looks flat to me...and if it was so slanted, wouldn't those junkers go into a donut when they launched? Lame, I have a line lock and posi, it goes nowhere till I say so.

[@mikevanmeyl123]

@MiBurnout so the car dosent swing the ass end because the road is on an angle thats y they push on the car

[@jonandmimi]

@TheRotaryman Looks like he may have pushed a head gasket

[@collinguarino2144]

I'm building a 408w for my foxbody right now. I noticed you used a 1982 hood scoop and made it work. what motor mounts and intake manifold do you run? thanks.

[@flowpuppie84]

Collin Guarino ur an idiot.

[@eriv4735]

Why is he an idiot he is asking a question

[@IrishmenV8]

skip to 1:54 for the actual race...

[@JamesWilliams-cb1mv]

My Mark V11 5.0 Burns out better than that..Fries em realy good

[@eriv4735]

They are not putting on a smoke show they are just heating up their tires enough to catch the road as best they can for the conditions..have fun frying tires and replacing them every month

[@frankie440mopar]

to sabotage...what's your suspension combo?

[@m4xrb]

what happened to just at the lights lol

[@bligrigs]

Looks a like Camarillo.

[@mustang305sfinest]

ok damien sandow

[@davidmartin2231]

(sighs)

[@allmotorhash]

for all that i burn out i expected at least a wheelie

[@TheRotaryman]

what happened at the end with the capri?

[@daninturrisi8610]

TheRotaryman it blew up.

[@GaHVino]

haha I always take my time... nice

[@Contreras-z4e]

SoCal?

[@marco5.025]

Iverson road, near Salinas

[@409cuin]

Well it looks like the 514 has junk heads on it because it doesn't run like it should....

[@eriv4735]

So it’s automatically the 514 that doesn’t run right and it’s not at all a testament to the build quality of that 408?

[@eriv4735]

Big power can and is made with small blocks and big blocks are regularly put to shame by small blocks..have you ever heard of power to weight?? Or even weight displacement??..and I am sorry but as old school as I am (been building cars for 30+ yrs) in today’s world “no replacement for displacement” is a dead idea when we have access to great heads and cam combos that will put stokers right to bed..also turbos and supercharger replace displacement on a regular..this 408 was just better built than the 514 and the 514 got walked deal with it

[@eriv4735]

Not to sound like an asshole but You clearly do not know grudge racing..There are plenty of big internal SMALL blocks that run in the 5s..and you making that statement just shows that you don’t make it to the track much..like I said when I was a kid we thought one way but we now KNOW the opposite to be true
