Too much modern technology going on there, Ted.
I guess I'm just old school.
I liked it better when we had cap, rotor, points and condenser.
Cold air intake? We used a hood scoop.
You could actually see the plugs right there under the headers, and there was a Holley 4bbl. Or two......
327 - 365hp in a nice neat package '67 Chevelle
Dang....I miss those days (and that car)
Nice shots though. Second is my favorite.

Well, this is 225 Cubic Inches with 330 Horse Power and 30 MPG.
That equates to 1.5 HP per Cubic Inch or a 327 with 490 HP. (And 7-8 MPG was the norm back then, I was there too.)
Chalk it up to technology.

Sure, it's cute. My pinto would eat it for lunch though.. lol
Good for you. I didn't realize we were checking as to who's was bigger. I'm pretty secure with my package.

And we thought that anything more than 1 hp / Cu in. was a big deal.
And that is one clean engine.
Nice!
My all time favorite was the Ford 427 pumping 425HP. Now, they get that out of a stock 302. :nightmare:

Well the Pinto is probably faster in a quater mile - but I would imagine this is a lot better for getting women to do anything other than point and laugh.
Just to be clear, we're talking about this Pinto here? Unless someone at Ford is taking waaay too many bong hits and remaking the '74 Pinto , that's the only Pinto that I remember from my teenage years. The only thing a Pinto could beat in a 1/4 mile is maybe, and this is a BIG maybe, is the Chevy Vega.
Both were the butt of all jokes back then, I just can't remember which one was a bigger joke.

Well my pinto is actually a 72, not a 71 - but yup.. we are taking about a 1972 Ford Pinto. With.. um.. a couple of small modifications.. lol
Anything with a "small" modification can do anything. I thought we were talking about straight out of the factory.

Not exactly no - in fact it's not even legal to drive on the street anymore. We used to run 1/4 mile sprint out at the track back in the day. Been a long time though, getting a little long in the tooth for that sort of thing anymore. Fun car, not terribly practical though.. rotfl
