The extra braces are unique to convertible.

 

the 427 ford motor was not actually 427 cubic inches ... anyone know what it`s actual size is .. according to hot rod mag ...

 

425?

 

If Mr Green is guessing, Ill take a shot at it 426.8
Final answer.

 

What's the exact bore and stroke ?
PI x radious squared x stroke length (volume of a cylinder) x 8 (the number of cylinders) will be the answer HOSS (new member) is looking for.

 

according to june hot rod issue the 4.23 bore and the 3.78 stroke yielded a 424.9 bore .. but ford called it a 427 because that was the nascar limit at the time .. dropping in a 3.98 crank made a 454 which was also claimed as 427 for class drag racing .. the original lemans winning GT is in the henry ford museum but without the original engine .. it is rumored to have been put in an excutives mustang as when they tested the engine after the race they found it made 7 more horsepower than when they installed it .. the 3251 mile race just broke the motor in properly

 

424.95171 cubic inches

 

Hoss, dont you have one of those 454 ford engines? Painted red, looks like a Rat motor. Seriously, did you ever find a home for your rat?

 

. no havent found any bodies yet .. i now have two 454`s .. one in a ready to go truck ..

 

there may be many more but i only know of two things that are different between a standard 40 ford coupe and a deluxe 40 ford coupe .. tell me the two i know

 

i`m getting good at answering my own questions.. i have never seen a " standard " 40 ford restored .. i have seen one all original ... the standard 40 only had one drivers side windshield wiper and one driver side brake lite.. the deluxe for $ 12 more came with both sides ... there may be more difs but thats all i know about .. i see if i can come up with a question even too tuff for me

 

What was the first production Ford to have the 289 Hi-Po on it's option list? kennyg
Thought it was time for HOSS to stop talking to himself. LOL

 

'63 Fairlane ?

 

1963 Fairlane is correct mgreene!

 

1970, Mustangs were built at 3 different factories, but only two built Boss 302s. Which two built them and which one did not?

 

i guess no one knows mike .. better try another question

 

I'll keep things moving here. In '70, Mustangs were built at Dearborn, Mich., San Jose, CA, and Metuchen N.J. Boss 302s were not built at San Jose.

 

Correct, Mr. Webster. Your go...

 

Next question:

What was the smallest V8 engine every offered in a Mustang?
