Factory 428 cobrajet
This guy claims his 74 highboy came for the factory with a 428 cobrajet??? Is it possible? He is in Canada if that makes a difference.

if it is possible it was special ordered. like an FTE member stated his dad got a Bronco back in 1979 with a 460 in it. since it was special ordered the engine code was just left blank since you were only supposed to get a 351M/400 in Broncos in 1978-1979.

I didn't see the claim, the invoice or window sticker he showed was unreadable.
I was alive and awake in '74, and this would have been a BIG deal, and I saw none of it.
As for the emblem and sticker, anyone can put those on an old wreck.

Can't see what your referencing. Doesn't matter. Don't believe, not going to believe it, if it's true, doesn't matter, if it were true, it would have been legendary, the video should have the banjo music, and is that his sister or his mom or both?

No doubt. The emblems don't make any sence since the cars they originally came on were out of production by then. Come to think of it that engine was out of production by then, wasn't it? Even if it was special ordered and Ford had a few emblems lying around I can't believe they would have bothered to put them on the truck.

Never happened...
The only documented Ford truck with a high performance engine is this one:
F-100 XL Drag Pickup
Also the fact that 1974 4x4 trucks could ONLY come with a 360.

My dad had a 70 Eliminator with the 429. He sold it because that monster kept cracking trans cases. But now he kicks himself whenever he sees one.
