Okay, so we're on the same page. I do miss the Fords from back in the mid '60s to early '70s. Along with the Shaker hoods and huge Boss intakes. Ford offered engine options galore to satisfy everyone. But.....horsepower and torque in today's high-performance Mustangs far exceeds anything Ford offered back in '69-'70. Sound wise, though, nothing beats the thunder of those '69 & '70 big blocks, for sure. And visually, IMO those Mustangs trump what Ford produced.You're right. Not arguing that a 351c is a big block. Just saying that the shaker in the mach and the big block in the boss were the real deal. Not what we are getting today from ford, at least in the old school way of thinking. Which I like. Big nasty throaty engines with tons of torque.
My two favorite years are '69 and '70. My favorite packages were the Boss 429 and the Super CobraJet 428 Mach. Both made a bold and beautiful statement both visually and audibly.
