69 Ford Torino Cobra

Paul Ceasrine · 11-05-2011, 11:37 AM

For looks,

The 69' Hardtop Coupe (non Ram-Air), a flat hood without the scoop.
Color; Red, with the black accent grille,,,,,,,
428/335 HP 'Super Cobra-Jet' ('Q'-Code)

The 428 SCJ 'Q'-Code
* cast pistons
* nodular cast-iron crankshaft
* externally balanced
* 427 (Lemans) cap-screw connecting rods
* engine oil cooler
* Holley 735 CFM Carburetor

9" Rear
3.91 Gears, w/Traction-Lock limited slip

A very 'sharp-looking' street sleeper, that could run 14.20's @ 100 MPH.

I believe it should still be a 735 CFM carb.

I like the hard top but LOVE the fastback.

Yes both cars do look good but there's just something about the Cobra fastback.

When I think Cobra Fairlane I think it has to have dog dish caps. Any fastback torino or fairlane with G.T. wheels makes me think 390.

It is but NHRA allowed a replacement carb such as a #3310 750/780 CFM carb in stock and S/S.

HUH... I didn't know that.

Thanks for all the input!!!!

The car I am Looking at is a "R" Code.......

Should it be a "Q" for a Cobra Jet instead of a "R".

Thanks,

GTX JOHN

The only difference is the "R" code is a ram air car and the "Q" code in non ram air.

It wouldnt be OK for a restoration Barrett-Jackson type car but for NHRA drag racing its all Hunky Dory.
