The Torino Cobra had a quite a Top End Charge, thanks to those big Super Cobra Jet Heads and Solid Lifter Cam.

Cast cranks came in later 440 engines- after '72. They were common in New Yorkers, other C bodies. This GTX 440 (if original) was forged. Even if the 440 was non-original, the mechanic/owner would select a forged equipped replacement.

Driving a clutch car at the strip takes talent and practice. You already have enough to think about without controlling your rpm and your clutch pedal. And with those wimpy tires that torino could burn them through the 1/4. Notice the dodges consistency? Thats why most people prefer an Automatic in drag racing. But if the ford guy worked on his suspension, trim that 300 pounds off the car,going around the road chickens would be no problem 😊.

Motor Trend and other magazines testing this car in the 1/4 mile, turning 13.3 @ 109 mph. Amide reports of making 375 hp, the factory 1970 SCJ actually made 425 hp and 450 lbft.

I had a chance to buy a 69 GTX and I didn't because I was 18 and dumb lol I already had a sweet Dodge Challenger 1972 R/T Premium, but that GTXhad a 440 and factory line locks and was green just like that one. I think it needed a new transmission. It had sloted mags and meaty tires and was a damn nice car. I'm so stupid to not have bought that one. But I was stupid and sold my Challenger so lol. Now they are damn near out of my price range. I always watch your vids and dig them.
