What about the SD - 455 firebird too?

Well those SD Ponchos were definitely the last of the strong factory cars that you could buy at the dealer in the 1970's. Worth a mint today as a collector.

1975 as a 17 yr old faller I bought my foremen's 1970 1/2 Formula 400 quarter mile track car and I drove it on the street without killing myself. Lol
Engine built by funny car builder Vern Moates out of Des Moine, Iowa in 1973.
Ram air IV 400 bored out to 448ci 12.5:1 compression, solid lifters ,originally setup on alcohol. Dynoed at 600 horse.
Rock crusher M22 with Hurst verticle gate, 430 rear.
Best times mid 11's full 1/4 mile...them were the days Lol.

I ran it on the street converted to gas and 50W engine oil.
Was a pretty proud kid with a fast classy black firebird with white LT1 scoop. 15" A78 volkswagen tire s on 5" Crager SS on the front L60 Micky Thompson on the rear.
First wife burnt all my car pics, my brother has some pics but I never bothered with them, just don"t want to get the expensive bug again. Saws are enough for me.

Here's a good video of my car's engine builder Vern Moats. He just passed away recently.

[pro94lt]

If ford made chainsaws what would mustang mike do? Which one would he pick? Stihl or ford? His head would explode quickly lol

 

[RI Chevy]

He'd still be trying to figure out a way to put a super charger on it. Lol
But if it was a Chevy, it would be faster! [emoji12]

Shots fired across the bow. Lol

 

[Bbintwn]

Oh but they did have a ford branded chainsaw

 

[Grjfer]

Probably had to push them home too.

Any of you guys wants to run against my little engine Mustang at any of the GTGs, just say the word.

Mason, those race vids are interesting, but don't read too much into them. When you had over 400 hp, tons of toque, "fair" tires + suspension and no traction (or launch) control, the driver was 90% responsible for the win or loss. Some guys with hot cars would not race them themselves, they let other guys who knew how to drive race their cars. Knowing how to launch and shift were very important, and someone who was good at it was hard to beat.

There were no drag radials, and slicks were not legal on the street. Lost my first 3 races with the 427 Mustang, then put traction bars on it and never lost again. It was like with the saws, you experiment and evolve.

 

[RI Chevy]

I think Duramax will give your stang a good go Mike.
But it is illegal to race on the street.

 

[MustangMike]

I know, I have never done it …

 

[RI Chevy]

ok
