Muscle Motor Week 2011!!!

[GarysZ24]

I may not own a car with an engine/hp set-up of such, but I still wish to celebrate the week...to wit:

4/25 or 425hp If my memory is correct, this is the factored hp for both a 426 hemi, one of the famed 409's, and a 427 Chevy, which with regards to the hemi, brings me to;

4/26 Need I say more???

4/27 You 69 Camaro racers with that engine and you Ford SOHC engine runners should love this day!

4/28 Isn't this "The Original Cobra Jet" Ford?

4/29 Can we say, "The Boss"!!!

4/30 The Hp of the "Mystery Motor" Z11 Chevy.

Furthermore, in all due fairness to the month of April, this month graced us with some other noteworthy dates for engines:

4/01 AMC had a dog in this fight too.

4/09 "She's Real Fine, My 409"!!!

4/21 The great "Poncho" Pontiac.

Unfortunately this month isn't 55 days long or else we'd be able to honor other luminaries such as the 454 Chevy, and the 455 Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac monster motor too. Did I miss any? I often think of this at this time of year, because I'm a gear-head (and Damn Proud Of It)!!! I may not race one of them (due to lack of funds for such), but I can still appreciate them, so kudos to you who can!!!

Forgot 406 Ford 410 Merc. Also 440 Mooopar.

Um, you can't do a 440 on a calender date... but you can do the Mopar 413, Chevy 402, Olds 403 & 425, Caddy 425 & 429, I'm sure there are others but I'm too lazy to go further. Guess some would apply to motor month, not so much motor week.

Yeah I guess so.But I did get the Merc 410.A lot of people don't remember them.Pontiac 428 also.I should have known the 403,that's my birthday.I swapped a 403 from a 350 olds in my Pontiac Paresianne S/W tow vehicle.Pulled nice but the gas milage,not fun.

Somebody told me about that 410 Merc, and I forgot. However those additions are cool, keep it coming....

Looks like the largest of all engines is s.o.l. in May.

Cadillac 500...there is no 5/00

My wedding anniversary = 3/18
My Dad's wedding anniversary = 4/26

Nope, we've never forgotten an anniversary! lol!

Yesterday I was about to give my Ford buddy grief about Max Wedge/Hemi day when I realized for the first time that my son's birthday is 3/02.....yuck!
