    Where’s the 428 CJ ? The beer budget 410 hp 470 ft lb based on the 50s 332 FE? Tasca Ford ring a bell. Or the 351C 4V at 380 hp and 410 lbs. The baby BBC, the Boss 429. Myself the best engine was never made. Imagine the 351 C heads on the FE? They weigh the same a 390-410 with Cleveland heads with the smaller bore 390-410 block a 390-410,bore. The 3.78-3.98 stroke already in the bin. All that 351 alphabet soup was unnecessary. The FE could have continued into the 90s. What were they thinking? Cheap too. Henry II called it his engine, the best in the entire world for all of history. The FE and SBC had a baby together called the LS. If I didn’t have a shed full of FE parts that LS is pretty good.

      I'm thinking valve shrouding putting Cleveland heads on a smaller bore FE would happen, I had a 70 Mach1 with a 351C & 4 spd and at the same time (82-85) had a 68 F100 SB 352FE & 3 on the tree that I dropped what I was told a 390 but after breaking some motor mounts found out it was a 68 428CJ and came very close to swapping the engine into the Mustang but they both were running great so I left well enough alone, both those engines should have been brought up in the video, running a 590hp, 600 ft lb on a Super Flow engine dyno 454 bored .030 & stroked 4.25 to 489ci in my 68 Malibu now, lots a fun

The Cleveland head on a 410/428 would have been a real stomper. On the 390, a high revving 400 ish engine vs the 351 4 inch bore I don’t understand?

But NHRA refactored it in Stock to 410 hp with a PI aluminum intake, but 390 with the iron one. And it was an easy block to cast.

    There is so much to critique here. 1) Muscle cars NEVER had engines less than 383 CID. 2) Pony Cars and Full-sized cars are NOT Muscle Cars; Therefore a 500 CID Caddy engine is out. 3) You left out Buick and Oldsmobile engines. 4) Get rid of the AI narrator. 5) Better fact check some of your info.

    Actually, the Eldorado started with a 525 in it. It was a marine tugboat engine and the biggest gasoline engine GM made. We had one. From there they went to the 507, we had one of those too. And from there they went to the 425, and we had two of those; 6 425's in total in my family, they used them in everything until the 76 Seville, which used a 350. All were excellent engines. The Eldorado's were front wheel drive and both the 525 and 507 could smoke out the front tires on those huge heavy cars. And I mean melt the tires off smoke. And they got about 8 mpg. The 72 525 weighed 5,400 lbs. They got the weight down to 4,600 lbs but the 425 couldn't light them up on dry pavement. But both my 77, and 78 did get 18 mpg on the highway, which was quite amazing, really. They weren't slow, but a huge step down from the monsters, and were also was used in the GMC Motorhomes and Oldsmobile Toronado's which were also Front Wheel Drive. When the end came, they were down to 407's which wasn't enough for the Motorhomes, or the Olds Toronado's. The Motorhome was discontinued. The Toronado was extremely down sized like the Eldorado. Jr. versions of themselves. Comical, really.

      Yes, they were used in everything. Ford's best all time motor when you consider how many were being used. The 3.6 Pentastar made 295 hp and 10 million were made. It's a dual overhead cam V-6. I believe that's the most engines made by anybody on a single engine. I supercharged one and get 600 hp out of it.
