Observance of the other two will have to be shared as well.

428 Pontiac

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

I'm not surprised I messed up with regards to the 428 Pontiac, but who else had either a 429c.i. engine or hp rating?

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

Cadillac had a 429 ci engine. Lincoln had a 430.

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

Interesting what else I found when doing more research on things relative to this month. In trying to find out why the '63 Chevy Impala/Bel-Air/Biscayne wasn't allowed in stock and super stock with the Z11 Chevy 427 "Mystery Motor", I was reminded that the L88 427 was rated at both 430 & 425hp, thus meaning 425 wasn't exclusive to the 426 Hemi(the '63 Chevy 409 also had a 425hp rating). Furthermore, 401 isn't exclusive to AMC, as "The 401 aluminum heads (PN 12363408) are listed on the GM Performance Parts Web site as the NHRA-approved engine parts for the motor they were building" the 427 L88...(source, SUPER CHEVY).

Ford and Pontiac fans rejoice. It's officially 428 Day.

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

Happy SCJ Day to Brian Seaburg.

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

Today is Cadillac and Ford 429 Day.

Love the Boss 429 Mustang.

HAPPY HOT ROD LINCOLN DAY! Now I think I know the reason George Thorogood, created that song (or at least it sounds good), after you enlightened me of the Lincoln 430 mill. Cool!!!!

Happy Z11 Mystery Motor, and Corvette L88 430hp Day!!!!

Thanks to all who added to this thread, and I hope we'll continue doing this for both March and April!

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

Ahem.... I think George Thorogood wasn't even born when Hot Rod Lincoln was created. That was in the 40's by a guy in Spokane. And it was a V12 then.

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

True the song wasn't created by George Thorogood, however he and his group "The Destroyers", re-made the song, and hopefully the site admin will be able to attach it here as I couldn't (from YouTube). Oh and one more thing "ahem", It may not have been the Lincoln 430 mill either versions of the song referenced, but I recall saying "or at least it sounds good "....

Re: Happy Muscle Motor Month!!!!
 

If it was that old I imagine it was the V-12 flathead. I saw one in a street rod at a car show years ago and was stunned. I had no idea there ever was such a thing.

Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, my choice.
