Anybdy heard of this?

[drdingo21]

429 BOSS. What can that engine do? This was takin from another thread and i kinda wanted to drill this guy into the ground
he aslo said this "yea yea yea

all i have to say is ..............COBRA SHOC 427 side oiler

ok 2 things to say ....... BOSS 429

nothing chevy made could touch either of these

SHOC stock produces 1000 HP stock
BOSS 429 produced 750 HP stock

as i said nothing chevy ever made could touch these

and these are HP ratings on stock engines to publicly releaced cars

eat me CHEVY whimps

LoL"
is any that true?

The Boss 429 was from early 70's mustangs, ther were pretty nice. One of only two mustangs i actually want. Think you're off on the hp rating though, believe it was a couple hundred less, but it was still nice

[drdingo21]

sorry i was in a hurry last night, the guy was saying how the 429 producded over 750 hp stock... i don't know much about early ford motors and i was wondering if that was true

The Boss429 today is about a 70-80K $ car.. The boss429 hp numbers when released was written as 400-500 depending on the options, purely for insurance reasons, and so they could sell the car. Actual hp numbers are estimated between 650-750hp.. this car was simply bad ass...but also barely streetable. Pretty much a racecar right off the showroom floor. I have a chevy, and I can't really think of anything off the top of my head that chevy made stock that could take this car. Mopar and their hemis are another story though...

[ChrisCantSkate]

there was the corvette in the late 60's that was rated at 400-450hp.. but pushing near 600 i believe.... of course i think everyone here can agree its power to weight that matters.. not pure hp numbers.

[V8killimports]

The Boss429 ran constant 11s street tires.

[slowEJ6]

damn.....you were right when you said it was simply badass. how much did they go for when they first came out?

[V8killimports]

I dunno.. back then it was probably 4grand if that.. I would like to buy 10 of them..

Maybe it was 11 on non street tires.. but that horsepower and tq rating is WRONG. As is the ET, and compression ratio.. don't believe everything you read.. "internet says so" doesn't always cut it..

[AzCivic]

Yes, Mustang enthusiasts are running around spreading wrong specs on their cars, just for fun i guess. So does "V8killimports says so" cut it?! I don't think so.

So how much was car insurance back in the late 60's early 70's? NOT MUCH I'm sure.

its all relative man... dont bust his balls.. they did underrate a few cars for insurance reasons.. i saw somewhere on the internet that said my car ran a 15.5 stock.. but it runs 15.1-14.9 stock. and ive seen more than a handfull of BS on alot of other things too.. its the enthusiasts who research.. know where to look and have been doing this for a while that i would listen to

[AzCivic]

Ok I looked everywhere on the internet, and i havent found one thing that says or even hints that the 1970 Boss 429 can run anywhere near 11's on street tires or any other tire. Think about it, a car from that era running 11's from the factory. I've never heard of such a thing. One of the bests I've seen is a 1970 Chevelle with a 454(my dream project car) that ran low 13's on street tires.

Do some more research before talking. I owned a 66 stang for 5 years, was a member of many clubs, and got to see these boss429s first hand.. I have heard them run, and can tell that they are barely streetable.. 454 chevelle? nice but not the quickest.. And btw I can name one off the bat.. the shelby 427 cobras..yes..a ford ran low 12.2 at 118mph easily all day long.. so I guess that shoots your 'dream car" down already... And why did they change the numbers for insurance reasons? Well if you did a little reading you could find out for yourself.. but it seems you are too lazy or can't read.. pick one I don't care.. they orig called the 429 a HO429 then changed the name to boss. What was the difference between the boss429 engine ran in NASCAR and the boss429 sold to the consumer? Nothing. They were the same engine.. There were options to swap carbs, and put milder cams in for customers who wanted them, but the 429 was the same designed for NASCAR. I am not sure, but I don't think NASCAR lets cars compete that do 14s in the 1/4.

LOL, man you crack me up

[AzCivic]

NO shit the Boss429 came with a NASCAR engine! So you've had an old Mustang and still don't know shit about them. Dont come on here like you actually know something Like f'g mustangs running 11's back in the late 60's give me a break. Oh yeah, NASCAR gears their cars for straight 1/4 mile times! you moron. They go in a damn circle for hours at a time the're more focused on top speed rather than pure acceleration. WTF are you talking about "shot my dream car down" I didn't say it was the fastest car evermade or some shit.

You idiot.. I know they are not 1/4 miles times.. use a little logic.. if a car runs 14s in the 1/4 do you think they are even gonna put it on the track? And yes the 429 was a detuned nascar engine.. you seem to be getting a little excited... maybe you need to go jerk off to calm yourself down a bit.. a guy simply asked a question here, and I promise you I have had more experience with this car than you have..

Well since they're driving 200 or more miles, that first 1/4 probably doesnt matter too much. But hey, I'm just using logic. Why are you telling me again that it was a NASCAR engine, like I said I KNOW its one. Thanks for the promise though.

Ok I will spell it out for you V E R Y slowly for you. YOU claimed that the boss429 did 14s in the 1/4. Let's say they did....now why the hell would Ford use this engine in Nascar? You think they said.. "hey let's use the 429 that run's 14s in the 1/4... I know it runs slow 1/4 but maybe it'll do better for 200 miles". All I asking is to use some logic.. We are no longer talking about the car.. the new subject is how you may be mildly retarded. You said the car did 14s.. you are wrong. Even though the mighty internet told you so.. you are wrong.. Do me a favor, get off the internet.. and do real reasearch.. talk to someone who has owned this car.. read books on it, reports, etc.. BTW I saw on the internet that your car comes with 25hp and does 32 secs in the 1/4...must be true!

[AzCivic]

Did I say That the damn car ran 14's??? NO i just put up a link to a mustang "enthusiats" website that had the spec, which isn't the only place I've seen similiar times, some as low as high 13's. IN FACT the only thing i claimed is that the damn car doesn't run 11's in the 1/4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm not going to spend money buying books just to argue with some moron one on the internet, when i can easily find the info online.

On a side note, I wonder how long we have til this thread gets closed???

[V8killimports]

Dunno... I am cool..you are getting too excited though.. the car runs low 12s with street tires.. 11s with cheater slicks. Then we agree then...

If I find a website that says it runs 9s in the 1/4 will you believe that too?? I know that 12 seconds will never happen in your civic.. and it's like another dimension to you, but low 12s especially for a big block is pretty easy... Anything under 16 is cosmic to you, I realize that, but you have to realize that a 429 is about 5 times the size of you motor, has massive heads on it, a racical cam, and large volume 4 barrel carbs... not to hard to run 12s.. I run 12s on a sb with less hp.. why is this so hard for you to accept?

[AzCivic]

How many cars from the 1960-70's run low 12 sec 1/4 mile? That Cobra example you gave earlier was a car that weighed what? Like 2500lbs? Your talking about a Mustang that weighed about 3500lbs. Unless your talking about a different cobra.

[ChrisCantSkate]

there wernt many production cars with lots of hp.. your missing it... that huge amount of HP can push a 3500 lb car into the 12's

[AzCivic]

I'm not saying that its impossible or anything, just highly unlikely that a production car from back then could run 11's. But prove me wrong, I really don't care. I'm just passing the time.

I took almost a second off my time running slicks.. a boss429 can easily run 11s with traction solutions, and even a bit of tuning can do wonders... anyways off to bed.. you prove me wrong with something other than the mighty internet...

[AzCivic]

A full second huh? Well I didn't know that slicks could take THAT much time off you ET. If they can, then I agree it shouldn't be too hard to get a car in the 11's if they can run high 12's on street tires. I guess you learn something new everyday.

dude... slicks car on high hp cars that have trouble getting traction will help that much. really, you sound like your not understanding the power of a mucle car.

[diligent_dave]

:D This thread is great.

Okay lemme see here. I was at Ennis (1/4 mile track) awhile ago with some friends, there was an F-body club and a mustang club doing grudge matches against each other. There was a Boss Mustang there and it came nowhere near 11's. It ran lower 13's on sticky mickeys. The car had been restored so you can't say anything about it being nearly 40 years old.

And "69 Roadrunner 440 six pack - high 12s
70 hemi cuda - high 12s" Now I'm a mopar guy. I have a 73 charger in the garage, but those cars ran in the 13's man. My dad has had a 69 Roadrunner and a 69 GTX with the 440 six packs. Most of the big block musclecars ran high 13's, because of their weight. The mustang only did marginally better.

Those cars I mentioned including the boss429 were named 4 of the 5 fastest production cars of their time BTW.. and there were actually 2 versions of the boss429.. a single 4v version which didn't sell as much, and the more popular dual 4 barrel.. I will send you a pic if I find it... And which boss are you talking about? There were 2 bosses... the 302 and the 429... and many variations of both depending on how streetable you wanted it.. you had the option from drive it every day to race car...

I know what slicks are and what they're for. Look i understand perfectly the "power" of a muscle car. I also understand that when i go to a track i never see old Muscle cars running low12's and certainly not high 11's stock, in fact the only cars the get close to that are ones with a cam that can barely be idled or one with the whine of a supercharger.

Ummm...those lopy cams you hear are the sweetest sound you will ever hear.. and they idle fine it tuned properly. I have a large cam in mine and it sounds simply sweet with no problems idling at all. Nothing like 3" exhaust with a lopey cam...:bow: And yes muscle cars ran 13s and 12s.. add slicks to that and what do you get? I ran slicks once and like I said, almost mad a second difference. Without slicks I burn the tires down the track.. Hard to plant a pair of 245/50/15s with a 2.97 first gear 6 speed and 373 rear gears..

They weren't just lopy cams, and they sounded like crap. Nothin like watching a car go by thats so loud you have to cover your ears and then see it get a low 13, when judging from the sound of it, should've ran a 10. Face it, muscle cars are not super cars and they all just don't run low 12's like its nothing.

Sigh.. you really don'y know anything about power do you? They had their mufflers uncorked and were running open.. that's why it was so loud.. yes it is loud..

the boss429 is a stock production engine.... but it was built like the 11 second cars i see run.... please.. your not connecting the most obvious points... its like a performance upgrade package... but provided by ford before you buy the car.. like saying a lingenfiller(sp) c5 corvette is stock.. as far as a stock lingenfiller goes... but its much faster... and that package is from a different company. look at the z06... its an upgraded c5, now imagine an all out upgrade

I really don't care all that much if this car can run 11's or not, it just sounded unbelievable so i looked it up on the internet, and couldn't find anything that even hinted that the car was that fast, so I started a little argument seeing how i was just sitting at work doing nothing. But now I'm tired of talking about it. If it is that fast Great! Ford actually did something right. If it isn't that fast, oh well I don't care any more. Lets move on to something else.

Man, the internet runs your life doesn't it? How sad.. Let's see.. you have shown me different places on the internet that says anywhere from high 14s to 13s now.. And if you pay attention, I have told you that there was a single carb and dual carb 429. The single carb was the more streetable cam, less carb, etc motor. The dual carb being unstreetable.. you know what a carb is right? what about a cam?

[AzCivic]

The diference in times was a whopping .5 sec, or 14.1-13.6
Just keep living in your dream world.
So an extra carb and little wilder cam can drop 2 sec's off your ET???
And why are you so afraid of the internet? Did you watch "The Matrix" one too many times???

You know nothing about engines I see. Where do you get 2 seconds? But yes, 2 large carbs (2 1050 cfm carbs) and a radical cam can easily shave major time off... you don't know jack about V8s. Don't try to pretend you do. Camshafts are the brain of the engine, and the carbs are the heart... 2 most important pieces in an engine.. mismatched they cam make a car run like ass... properly matched and tuned they can make a car scream.

The cam has to match the intake manifold, which has to match the flow on the heads, which has to be backed by a higher compression ratio. More overall flow needs more air from larger or another carb. Go here and read a little about motors.. http://ls1tech.com/ Look at the internal section.. MINOR head porting and a new cam took a LS1 camaro from 305 rwhp to 415 rwhp. 2 seconds? Maybe not.. depends on the car.. but who said anything about 2 seconds anyways? YOU said 13.6 - ONE second = 12.6 which = 12s in the quarter.. and mobbo, I am trying to explain something to him.. arguing somewhat civilized.. yet once again you poke you fat head in here and add your usual amount of brilliance.

honda guys should know.. a fully built motor can run 13's.. but tnue it and it is 12's.. c'mon guys.. its not jsut the mods done to the engine but the proper tuning as well. its like mis-matching a intercooler or a turbo.. or hell.. even cams on you car. if you jsut add "better" ones then you'll gain a little.. but if you add the best ones for the application you need.. and tune it, then your going to pick up ALOT more hp.

on a side note: 415whp.. i'd hate to see the gigantic tq number that thing is putting out

The cam has to match the intake manifold, which has to match the flow on the heads, which has to be backed by a higher compression ratio. More overall flow needs more air from larger or another carb. Go here and read a little about motors.. http://ls1tech.com/ Look at the internal section.. MINOR head porting and a new cam took a LS1 camaro from 305 rwhp to 415 rwhp. 2 seconds? Maybe not.. depends on the car.. but who said anything about 2 seconds anyways?

The mysterious 2 seconds came from an earlier post that had a link to a 1/4 mile time which was a 13.6 and your argument being that the car (supposedly) came with the option of dual carbs and a wilder cam, and I went out on a limb and thought you were saying that the time came from a car that DIDN'T have those options.

So lets get to the basics: You say the BOSS 429 can run 11's stock. You also say the Shelby Cobra can run low 12's.
I'm sure the Cobra makes as much if not MORE power than the BOSS. And as YOU said it runs low 12's, which makes sense since the car weight in at around 2500lbs(about the weight of a damn civic!) While the BOSS weighs in at a hefty 3500lbs if not more. But yet according to YOU the BOSS can run 11's and the cobra low 12's. I guess that extra half a ton helped out the BOSS in some magical way???

NASCAR. Also known as the Hillbilly Lottery. "Stock" cars, with nothing in common with production cars but the names only, driven by superstar "athletes" with beer bellies and severe halitosis, chase each other around a circle track, which smells heavily of mayonnaise based salads. All the excitement of greyhounds darting after the rabbit at your local dog track, with the exception that the greyhounds sometime explode, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. Beer is also served, much to the enjoyment of the crowd.

Recommended methods of watching NASCAR: Watch the first turn for all the glorious esplosions, then watch Bea Arthur in the Golden Girls or whatever else is on the Lifetime Network. Randomly pick a winner, and be prepared to discuss the most audacious esplosions tomorrow, as well as what Dale would have done with Darryl, Darryl, Darryl and Darryl at the Pick and Pull Used Parts Lot.

A full second huh? Well I didn't know that slicks could take THAT much time off you ET. If they can, then I agree it shouldn't be too hard to get a car in the 11's if they can run high 12's on street tires. I guess you learn something new everyday.
right there you admit to it running 12's.. which he is saying it does.

Perhaps you read my post too quickly...I said IF a car runs 12's and IF slicks can take a second off your ET then the car should be able to run 11's. Where's the part where I "admit" that it runs 12's?????????

im done waisting my breath... im only gonna reply if i see fit.. im done trying to talk logicaly

[V8killimports]

Ok AzCivic.. I dunno about the cobra hp, but the boss429 was written as 375. I can tell you that is wrong.. ford did it so they sould simply sell the car. Actual hp was speculated somewhere in the neighborhood of 600+. I think the cobra was somewhere around 400.. not sure though.. this thread is too long.. I am done for good with this thread... I don't even care anyone what the goddamn thing runs.. I know what mine runs and that's what's important...
