I enjoy these stories of old. I am the old guy now I guess(65)? I have an 08 Chevy truck with a 6.0 LS engine that just screams. Supposed to be around 365 hp and 383 lbft torque. I would have loved to have had something that powerful in my 70 Catalina I would have ruled the night. The 429 engine I had in my 73 Torino was only 198 HP and 320 torque. I thought I had a hot rod. My truck has 160,000 miles and it doesn't burn oil between changes. Love the old stuff but some of the more modern engines have come a long way. Not a big fan of what they did to the later LS with the deleting cylinder crap. Thankfully mine doesn't have that.

After that, the engine was tamed down for the average buyer, and the more potent version was assigned for racing.

It was sold to racers, never saw production intended for use by the public. The Ford engines you didn't mention were the 289/302 & the 427FE. All three engines have racing pedigrees besides being produced for the public. The 427 won Le Mans in '66 & '67. It won in NASCAR & NHRA, the 428 never came close. So you rookies need to do your homework. So on a 'A+' to 'F' grading scale, you get an 'F' for your Ford selections.

Nope. The 429 Boss was a killer on the large ovals. On the street, not so much. It was put in the '69 and '70 Mustangs to homologate the engine for NASCAR. The 429 Boss suffered down low because of the huge intake valves and ports, but they screamed at high revs. The Torinos and Cyclones got them for NASCAR and did well. They were impressive from both engineering and visual perspectives. Very much aligned with the 427 SOHC as a unicorn/icon.

The 428 CJ was an awesome high performance street motor. More well mannered for the street than its brother, the 427 FE. The longer stroke and smaller bore helped the 428 with low end torque. The 427 with its large bores stretched the FE block envelope to its limits. Controlling casting shift in production made for many scrap 427 blocks because of quality constraints and concern for thin cylinder walls, is why 427 production was rather limited. The smaller 428 bore eliminated that concern.

from stop light to stop light the 273 could beat the 426 Hemi, but anything after the 1/8th mile, the hemi is hard to beat. it was built for the 1/4 mile.

The smaller engine cars could hook quickly and get off the line while the big motor car is spinning its wheels. A 1970 Dodge Dart with a 340 will absolutely embarrass a big block in the 1/8.

Yes BIG CUBIC inches engines does the talking, l will give the HEMI big block, 10 out of 10, the FORD and the Chevrolet big cubic inches were good but not good enough, the Chrysler HEMI if that's what you want to call it, was the king of the road, back then ,between 1967 and around 1972 , the HEMI was the one that, Chevrolet FORD, couldn't dominate in that era , but HEMI did get away with all that horse power before the restrictions were applied , THE FORD and the Chevrolet , losed out in that respect

I'll take a stock 440 Magnum any day over the stock 454. The 454s would bend pushrods and end up losing cylinders. The 440 Magnum I had never once had any troubles and ran like a scalded cheetah.

You can keep your 440 and 454, I'll have a super duty 455 any day!!
