The heads are also altered from the 426 in various parts of the valvetrain. (Also, the 426 is so famous because it’s competition: the Ford 427 cammer, was banned for being too fast.)

The car was maintained by my dad and oldest cousin when my cousin owned his shop. Most of the pictures are of my dad cleaning the thing.
    My mom had a 1972 Mach I before she totaled it just before the move. Dad has one picture of them doing a drag. Dad said mom's mustang was quicker off the line, but Dad's GTO would catch up and then scoot on by with the final gears. Dad said rolling drags weren't even fair. Even though the GTO was a beast, it came alive after 50MPH.
    Both of my parents miss their cars. At least they have albums and many stories to tell. My son especially likes hearing stories and looking at the old family race albums. His eyes just glisten with wonder...

    To put that 2,200hp engine at the end into better context, I worked on a very big tow boat, it had two 4,500 HP diesels. So that car alone has a quarter of the power needed to push over 40 loaded barges down the mississippi river. Each barge being 200ft long by 35ft wide, that's over a quarter mile of steal out in front of you. And that car makes 1 full 1/4 of the HP needed to do something like that. Insane.

      You do have to account the fact that Horsepower is a product of speed AND torque. Even though it has 1/4 of the HP, it has much, much less torque as the engine is faster and the car is geared for speed, not torque

The engines on the river were TQ monsters I'm sure, but nobody knows how much they put out because they only go off HP numbers for some reason. I always hated how I could never get an answer on the TQ figures for those engines. lol, I used to bug the fuck out of every engineer that came aboard trying to figure it out.

      I had a Ford Taurus with half of an Aston Martin V12. It was actually a decent engine and sounded all right but the transmission was utter crap and held it back. Slowest 200hp car I've ever driven because of that transmission. Unfortunately, Ford never mated that engine with a manual and a manual pedal box for that generation Taurus effectively doesn't exist any more.
      V12 Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs aren't hard to find, though finding them in good shape and keeping them running is a little trickier. Some custom exhaust work and they can sound supercar-ish.
