Mr. Sizzler,
As I have said before, the 429 Ford engine and the 454 Chevy engine's both were "hi-performance" engine's for cars to begin with. Are you trying to say that the 428 Cobra Jet was a "car" engine, but the 429 Cobra Jet was a "truck" engine? Quit making the extra 100 lbs of a 460 sound like the engine is only good for a dump truck. As KC said, the 429/460 was designed like the BBC engine, are they all truck engine's? They make aluminum block's for 460's also, quit crying about the weight. You must not watch many NHRA events, because in Pro Stock ALL of the Ford engine's are 385 series, the FE engine's are all in the "Jurassic Park" division (old ladies 50 - 85 year old).
I have nothing against the FE engine's (again, I had a 69 Pro Street Mach 1 with a 427 SO engine and my brother had a 1969 Ford Torino with a 428 Cobra Jet), just the "fantasy" that it's a better engine than a 385 series!
