You would have to use aftermarket parts for it to hold up a 1,000HP. It would have to be a Shelby, Geniuses, or a Pond block. H-Beam rod's, Aftermarket heads (more then likely) and other goodies.

By the way, the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds. The Stang's that they used also had small blocks in them beside the FE.....JMHO

The one in the photo was a 428 SCJ FE . With 650 HP with out the spray !

637 is some really strong power for a 427!!!! I'd like to see the specs...wonder why the torque fell off so bad?????? Any guesses???

Yes,I will watch it.

Denny W they did have all the engines on dyno's . This should be the true HP ? And look the HP is a match with your FE Build how COOL is that .

I have to see this 637 hp FE engine run.

Did I hear them correct when they said the 426 Hemi made 820 hp???

I am going to have to call BS on this.
A 426 THAT MAKES 820 HP???
Over 1.92 hp per cubic inch???
With a mech. cam??
Anyone else wonder about this???
Am I missing something???
HOW MUCH DID MOPAR PAY THEM???

I watched it again and saw something else that was fishy with the Ford FE 427.
Is just me or does the Ford 427 have a "tunnel-port" intake on it??
I do know they came with two fours but Ford never had a "tunnel -port" intake that came from the factory.

Yes you are right it is a tunnelport engine. The tunnelport heads and intake were over the counter parts. And never came on a production 427.

Wow Erik!!!!! Your not possibly suggesting that TV spec ratings could be "adjusted" according to the ad budget!!!!!!!??????? I mean heck, if it's on the boob tube, it must be fact, right?????

Anyway, I wasn't (then) questioning the merits or integrity of the show, just curious what the heck they did to the engine to make such good HP and yet manage to kill the torque number???????

But a box stock hemi with 820 horse....????? Don't think so....

Personally, whether your talking cars, sports, the news, or whatever I am just flat sick and tired of these "expert analysts who do nothing more then insert their blatantly biased opinions into a story and expect all us common folk to accept it as fact. Awwww forget it...that would be the subject of a brand new thread that Bill would probably be obliged to shut down after about the 3rd post!!!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL:

I Tivo'd that show and have watched it a few times. If I remember correctly the 409 showed a tic more HP on the dyno then they listed in the results. I'll have to watch it again to be sure but think I saw that right?? LOL
