Default Neat Show on Speed

I just saw American Muscle Car on Speed - featuring muscle car shoot out - Engines only. They put various engines from the 60's in stock/showroom form (or so they said) on a dyno - and compared hp/tq numbers. They had the 426 hemi, Chevy 409, Pontiac 421, and Ford FE 427. The 409 did 406 HP. The Pontiac did 488 HP. That FE engine did 637 HP! The Hemi did 820 hp! Holy *#@!^ !! Now the Chevy 427 L88 is on. And the number is - 527 HP! The hemi won - but I think the story is for you FE guys - impressive. 637 HP - wow!
