Has anyone been watching this yet? Yesterday was day two. They start with entry level cars and work their way up and just sprinkle in a few higher end ones. A 1971 429 Torino went for $100000. I thought there was some stuff that was of lower quality that would not have made the show a few years ago.

As good as the engine sounds, why would the guy not use a Ford Racing crate engine instead (isnt there a 514?). I just think it would be more impressive that way. I would probably personally biuld a HOT HOT 429 and use that!!

Ford has a few bigger crate engines. Alot of guys like those damn chevy engines in there fords though.
I dunno about the whole barret jackson thing, it seems to bring nice nice vehicles but alot of time the prices seem like they just skyrocket on there, good for sellers, bad for buyers!

I can see that chevy makes some ok engines, but I personally have always thought for myself it will be a chev in a chev, ford in a ford.

I know it`s too bad about the T, still it`s a sweet rod and life`s like that sometimes.
The kicker is that when it was it was first made into a rod in the 70`s it had a 428 FE!
We can buy each other a beer.....Coming to the Draggins?
i agree though, whatever brand it is, keep it all the same flavor.
