That's it in a nutshell
At the factory everybody had friends in the plant building special stuff
One guy had his Boss 302 painted twice or dunked twice, stuff like that
I am sure 428's and Boss 9's were in more than just Mustangs for the execs

Yep but no 428SCJ ever made it into a 1973 Ford truck on the assembly line. Because the 428SCJ was no longer in production by then.

I'm nearing the end of a restoration on a '69 SS/RS 396 Camaro. they're getting hard to find for a decent price it's too bad you sold yours.

What is a colt 100 plane?
An adjustable transit?

An acquaintance swears up and down that his 65 ford truck got a dealer installed warranty 427 service block. Not sure if true or not, but it sure was quick!

Worked with a guy who swapped in a bone stock 69 Lincoln 429 into his high boy and proceeded to break everything in his driveline. Broken u joints, pretzeled driveshafts, exploded clutch packs. Crazy torque.
