RE: Let's put the hemi in it's proper perspective here
By P - 11/29/2001 5:37:46 PM; IP 66.89.75.42
If you dig deeply into the MoPar link I posted, you'll see they use "the new math" to try their darndest to prove how great the hemi was. Ha ha, but even on a biased Mopar page like that, using the new math, the BEST the hemi could do was lose to Ford by a few races.

During the Aero Wars, it was essentially a draw, with Ford actually winning the grand total by a few races. The FE 427 had something to do with this, but the BOSS 429 also had a lot to do with it during the latter years.

Here's a BOSS link for you, because it's a relevant link upon which to measure the performance of the FE.

Remember, the FE is "old technology" compared to the BOSS, and Henry Ford did spend a few million on the Boss too, but when comparing the present day 385 motor, you got to say, hey, where's the BEEF (where's the cylinder head!!)
