American Muscle Car Engine shootout
So flipping through the channels, I catch the last 20 mins of American Muscle Car on the Speed Channel, and they were doing an engine shootout from the 60s. They had these following motors up for competition on an engine dyno. They said all these motors are rebuilt to 100% factory spec.
1962 Chevy 409 2x4 barrel- Rated 409 HP--made 406
1967 Ford 427- Rated 425 HP--made 680
1963 Pontiac 421-Rated 405 HP--made 488
1967 Chevy 427 L88-Rated 425--made 527
1966 426 Street HEMI rated 425--made 820
Same HEMI motor that we are tossing in our 33 plymouth we are building, so I had to call my dad who was in the middle of a meeting and he goes "820??? HOLY *****...oh...ummm Jon Ill have to call you back when I get done"
If these numbers are right, I am really impressed with all of them..pretty sweet if ya ask me!
