Brand X engines/competitors
« on: August 13, 2020, 03:02:03 PM »
Boys,
What are your most feared…and respected brand X engines/competitors. For me it was/is the 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1, and the Mopar 440-6. Your thoughts...
Just another T/A fanatic. Current lifelong projects:
1968 Olds 442 W-30
1969 Mustang Fastback w a Can-Am 494 (Boss 429)

I would agree with you.  I've often heard the 440+6 was faster in the quarter than a 426 hemi.  In anything over a quarter the hemi took over with it's higher revving ability.  I would have to add a Pontiac 400 in there somewhere too especially in a Firebird.
