[@CanIbeFrank]

Jack is the man!

[@jonsabo8849]

Good to hear the stories told by Jack, like it was yesterday. He might be old, but he still has guts.

Really enjoying the Jack Roush series stuff. Thanks a million. He is a national treasure.

[@Dirtyharry70585]

Another great story from the master blaster!

[@tednewcomb1048]

Jack Roush truly an American icon !!

[@justingriggs3766]

What a legend, thank you for the story Mr Roush. these old cats (no pun intended) are disappearing and if we only knew half of what they have forgotten we can make some hellatious cars. And they built these motors and tuned these chassis without electronics without laptops and they will still run with all the new ones.

[@garydonnelly8337]

True legend!!!

[@carlcappuccio5640]

so glad i found and subscribed to your channel. I'm 61 and eat sleep breath FORD never owned anything else and never will ! I grew up about 1 1/2 mi from Detroit dragway was so close that i could hear the announcer but he sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher. think the first time I went was 1972 and was hooked for ever till 1996 when they closed. Always loved Jack, Glidden, Dyno Don. Sure wish FORDS could be in prostock now. My father and I both worked at DST which did a lot of race stuff including off road, Indy and cup but most well known for working on Thunderbolts. Love your videos !!!! keep Em Coming .

[@paulglinz7905]

Thanks for both of these episodes - Thanks to Jack and Evan - these are golden ! (and I could listen to that car run forever ! )

Love Listening to these Stories! Keep em Coming!

[@Kevin_747]

I met Jack at an aviation event many years ago. He can expertly talk about airplanes as much as cars. I loved this era of Pro Stock. That Mustang II is high tech for its time.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Man I love that car! Thanks Evan for another great video.. Andy

Class Act as Always. I saw both those cars run when I was Kid. Fun Stuff Growing Up At The DragStrip.😁😁

[@bobfowkes557]

Awsome car

[@worldssickestmedia2713]

Gapp and Roush along with Bob Glidden were giving em hell during this era. They had that Cleveland figured out. That Ford power had everyone beat back then.

[@genemartin6962]

That is a cool interview. One of the REAL gurus on engines and all things automotive. Jack just was not your time to go in that fish pond near Troy. Glad u made it out.

[@jaym2569]

What an awesome video! It’s nice to see history that matters not get criticized..

[@couchfighter]

crashing planes in the water..etc. love this dude!

[@2sheamotorsports199]

Awesome content. Keep it up. Love all this Ford nostalgia stuff. (And the new nostalgia of the 80’s/90’s ).

[@thomaskelley1718]

So cool to see that this awesome piece of racing history is being well taken care of. This car gave me a lot of inspiration for modifying my 77.

[@colinpate3059]

Thanks Jack! I love these stories.

[@naterod5617]

Love these races!

[@jimmyrwilkesjr5127]

Love to hear and see FORD DRAG HISTORY AND LEGENDS ,MY FIRST CAR I BOUGHT WAS A 1974 MUSTANG II V6 ,I WORKEXD ON THAT CAR AND SURPRISED MANY V8'S😂

[@timrayburn2461]

Thanks

[@jeffsnyder2051]

What A Cool CAT, Thanks EVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sombra6153]

I recall a 1975 Motor Trend article on Jack and a Mustang II that was apparently built for “street.” The article quoted him as saying three guys who want to run use dual quads, but the guy who want to run fast stick with a single. 4V. I don’t remember if the car in the article had a 351 or a big block.

[@jayb6441]

Great video!! It was nice meeting you at Roadkill Nights!!

[@revanevan]

Likewise!

[@chipmccullough9728]

Jack please write a book about your racing and life- so interesting!

[@lhv8]

Love to hear old people histories

[@RonnieT123]

SO AMAZING. good stuff. Ty

[@sergeantmasson3669]

The Gapp/Roush 427 4 door Maverick is a pro-stock legend.

[@revanevan]

Indeed it is, Gapp, however not Gabb.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@@revanevan Thanks. Typing error on my part. I corrected it.

[@kevinsnyder8448]

Awesome history

[@jeffschwartz5199]

Priceless 💰

[@jamesclapp6940]

having the suspension front connectors and the U-joint pivot point is a well know method, design for forward bite!

[@kevinjohnson8758]

Good job 👌

Yup back in the day

[@mikewslshwalsh5185]

Jack is the man

[@BB-rn6so]

A real racer

[@danmyers9372]

If would interesting to calculate the instant center of the rear end with those long ladder bars.

[@jackmaddock3568]

You know the old saying, liar's figure but figures don't lie. The Cleveland had an 8 degree valve angle, a big block Chevy 23. Ingition timing being negative work GM motors ran something like 42 or so degrees based on their design which effectively tries to stop the pistons upward travel. Long story long today's pro stock motors have a valve angle around 8 degree's. Roush was brilliant without question but the Cleveland was a way better design.

[@moffettcoates6455]

National Treasure is Mr Roush.

Ford power love it
