RE: You are comparing apples and oranges

By hawkrod - 11/03/2003 10:33:02 PM; IP 205.188.209.46

i didn't say it couldn't take it, i said the 409's won more races in the day. there were a lot more chevy's than fords at the track, some things never change! LOL. also it was much easier to buy a Z11 chevy than it was to buy a ford lightweight. the other bit of trivia that many people miss is that most of the race 409's were actually specially designed and built 427 CI engines that only shared blocks and cranks with production cars. kind of like a high riser 427 versus a regular 427 only on a much more radical scale. "427 = 4.312" x 3.65" (6.135" rod) 1963 "Z11" SHP drag race" here is a nice page that says very little but is interesting: http://www.myclassiccar.com/CoolCars/closeups/chevrolet/chevy409/
