RE: Note about the 426

By P - 11/05/2003 7:14:23 AM; IP 216.80.153.176

Indeed, they were very powerful, but they were heavy, and they were really no more durable than the FE, therefore the lightweight Ford was a VERY good motor to go racing with. The hemi always appeared to have a power advantage, but at the advent of the aero wars, Chrysler was FORCED to go with the wing thing because they didn't have the motor to win otherwise. In the end, the aero wars ended with Ford having a slight winning advantage, which is due to a lot of FE wins and of course, the Boss 429 semi-hemi coming onto the scene too.

I'm a realist, I know the limitations of the FE in history, but I also want to help "clear the air". A lot of ChryCo guys will swear the hemi dominated, but in reality, they only won more than 50% of the races during TWO YEARS in the 1960's. That would be 1966 and 1967.

Regards, all the best, anyone out there have a lead on 427 production numbers??
