Here are a couple of links that give some stats about NASCAR during the '68, '69, and '70 race seasons. Those were the golden years of the Hemi, the Ford 427 and the Boss. 1971 was when NASCAR outlawed winged cars and made the maximum CID at 305. 1968 was Dodge's year, mainly because of Richard Petty. 1969 and 1970 had more races won by Ford's, powered by 427's and Boss's, than Dodge's precious Hemi. Yes, Ford did dominate the Hemi.

I agree the Boss 429 did pretty good in NASCAR. However, FordLariat said all forms of racing. I'd like him to show me some statistics from NHRA, ADRA, ARCA, and even power boat racing to back up his claim.

[QUOTE=92f150I6]427 SOHC, huh? How many of them were made? Can you still get one? didn't think so.
Seriously though, one off engines that were once available don't really count. their were probably only a handfull of them built to begin with.
What the heck do you think a 528 Hemi is? They were never even installed in a production vehicle.

I have no idea why NASCAR has a history of doing that, but it is a fact. 427 SOHC? Nope, can't run that. No one would be able to compete. 351 Cleveland? Nope can run those heads. No one would be able to compete. I don't know of any examples where specific Dodge or Chevy engines were targeted and banned like those two from the Blue Oval.
