Im the driver of this car, the owner is standing beside the car in the burnout box. We bring the car out once a year to Tulsa and make 1 or 2 passes. This engine configuration we tried to simulate the Can-Am Boss 494 all aluminum engine. The heads are Factory Ford Experimental Holman/Moody nascar D port. The 2x4 manifold is a very rare Factory Ford and I made spacer plates to turn the big carbs sideways. I shift at about 8000rpm. Thanks for all the great comments!
Erik Hansen We went a 9.55 @ 147 in Memphis a couple years ago on a real nice sticky track. Have to launch at near idle or it just blows the tires off...lol
Erik Hansen Yes we tried but at 6100rpm the engine nearly destroyed the dyno breaking the pump and blowing the hydraulic lines off. It was making 1060hp when the dyno broke. So we figure it makes around 1100-1200hp. Engine is built by the owner. I help tune the clutch.
Its nice to see one have a great quarter mile. They didn't build and tune the factory 429 motors as good as they could have. Stock 429 should have been been a top street eliminator.
Nothing sweeter than a 69/ 70 boss 429. Know a guy that had both the 302 and 429 and he only once lost a race. The 302 ate 69 Z28s and BB chevelles for lunch. When he lost to a 70 440 6pk 4 spd challenger he brought out his 70 boss 429 and beat the dodge by 5 car lengths .Super fast and the idle from a boss 429 would shrivel the nuts of anyone stupid enough to line up alongside THE BEAST .
in my world this is the perfect car, The best looking Mustang ever built never to be matched..... ever, people loose their breath when they see the engine, if ever Teed up at a red light with a newer pony car there would be zero worries on who's gonna do what, this car looks mean like really mean, the mysteries of life get solved with a car like this........
Impressive time. The Boss 429 was designed for NASCAR to compete with the 426 Hemi, and it did a good job of it; however, the Mustangs and Cyclones and Torinos that got the engine for the street were rather disappointing in stock form. I think because on the street the engine just wasn't up at high rpms enough to take advantage of the big valves. But it was at high rpm about all the time on the NASCAR tracks, so it would really breathe there.
@@gordonipock9385 the heads on the street version are highly restricted , they simply need a good porting job ( or better yet match ported with the intake manifold ) and they really come to life, very easy to get 600+ hp out of these. I bought a 429 interceptor built it and with a 460 crank I’m getting 623 hp and 647 ft. Lbs. torque.
To bad Ford hurried to make the Boss. The potential of this engine shows what Ford was capable of doing. Like when the Gt40 embarrassed Ferrari. That being said us FORD people know who the real BOSS is. 💪😎👊
Ms. Sonshine Yup.I know a guy who had a matched set of 70 boss mustangs one 302 and one 429.The 302 was insane and the only car to ever best him was a 69 superbee 440 6 pk .He raced the superbee with his 429 and beat it badly.The boss mustangs owned the streets.They were that fast.
He didn't have a 1973 boss 429 Mustang because they made less than 800 in total, and they were only made in 1969 & 1970. These are the only engines that you could get in a 1973 Mustang: 250ci six, 302ci 2bbl V8, 351ci 2bbl V8, 351ci 4bbl V8, 351ci CJ 4bbl V8.
+Jesse Lozano I agree! We get to see the pass and we get to see under the hood! It's great!! Because who knows what's under the hood? It could be anything! Anyway, I agree with you. It is a great video.
There is one thing some people do who really don't know engines, is when you come off high rpms if you suddenly release the throttle and let the engine brake the car you can really damage the internals of the engine, such as bent pushrods, etc. The professional way is to immediately knock the engine into neutral so the the rpms can drop without pressure and stress on the parts, ask any pro, plus by doing it this way you can get a better reading of what's going on inside of the engine when checking the plugs.
Double clutch like Steve McQueen in the movie Bullitt, witch laid the blueprintfor all car chase scenes. The driver was super quick or he had a kill switch on the tranny to engage between shifts. Racing motorcycles use this trick setup.Richard S.
Nascar drivers take it out of gear and then shut the motor off immediately after crossing the start/finish line after their qualifying run, (that was when they were still running qualifying sessions pre-pandemic). Most of them take it out of gear and then let it coast around the track and after entering pit road and they'll usually shut it off once parked and then let their pit crew push it back into their hauler for the ride home. Those engines (if they don't have a dedicated engine shop) cost $100,000 to lease for one race.
Yea but luckily some got out and this is one of them most likley and with tuners coming out they could restore the king to its true glory but yea the engine choking wtf was ford thinking smh
Very nice car and impressive run. You have managed to successfully unleash all the potential power of a Boss 429 where many others have failed. Congratulations on a great build.
Ron, this isnt the average big block. It's a nascar bred engine design, very detuned for street use when stock. This engine is far less modified than any small block running in the 10s.
@@milojanis4901 No they were bigger than Roush, Yates and Ernie Elliott put together in Ford Racing... I'd dare to say they had a hand in the GT40's engines that won Lemons... There was nobody in NASCAR or NHRA doing anything with Ford that they H/M didn't sell parts to. If you ran a Ford, you BEGGED H/M for parts just to run midpack against their picked driver.... There are alot of people that really boost Mopar's ego about the 60's. But I went back and added it up, and Mopar only got 15 or so more wins than Ford, 200 less top 5's and 500 less top 10's than Ford all said and done, between 1960-1971... Chrysler had their engine tech scientists in a lab. Holman Moody was Holman Moody. Stood all by themselves... People talk shit about the 70-71 season for Mopar beating the hell out of Ford. But in the same breath they want to talk about the 64 season that Petty and the big names had to sit out... Well same can be said for Ford in the 70-71 season. Likely H/M had very little dealings with the 351W or the 351C to really do anything for advancing the performance of those engines... So for Ford it was run the 351 of the 2 configurations and stay home, much like for the Mopars in 64, it was run the older 413's or stay home... And I might add, the one's that ran the 413's might as well have stayed home...
my best friends bro had a black one,fastest car in town ate everything that lined up with it,bought it at used car lot in pittsburg for$2700 with 22k on it
Well, there aren't many things to change to get it into the 10's. Boss 429's came with the same Holley carb that was on the Boss 302. A bigger carb, and you picked up a bunch of HP. An exhaust valve the size of a softball, and cast iron exhaust manifolds? Headers woke the rest of it up. I had a 1968 428 Mustang CJ, and it ran in the 10's With substantially less horsepower than a boss. Hope you aren't taking the stock "horsepower rating" to heart. Of course, the real Boss had 1 carb...and this one has 2...uh.....those aren't Holley carbs, and they look like come faux-carb fuel injection units. But Fuel injection doesn't exactly boost power, now does it? Ford did make the 9" rear, but not that big brace welded on the rear. Or the non-stock ignition.
The last time I checked pricing, you couldn't touch a basket case for less than half a million, the last one I saw sold at Meccum went for well over $1 million, and it wasn't an original (not restored) numbers matching car.
Yeah, the chassis mods for better grip help a lot too. All that power just burns the tires with a stock suspension, they put some work into that car to make it launch like that.
+butchtropic The Tasca superboss had a C6 in it. That car was built from a pre-production prototype. Kind of a strange car because its a 69, but does not have the fake quarter panel scoops.
Doesn't matter what brand you choose, they're all one in the same with different names. Without the exchange of technologies between auto manufactures over the past century, none of them would be where they are today without each other and together, are unified in a sustainable Industry. That said, I see a parallel for the people on this planet, I just wish they understood that.
@Live Wire - Actually the name "Boss" had nothing to do with the car's brute strength, etc. It was created when Larry Shinoda was working on what was to become the Boss 302 and someone in corporate asked him what project he was working on and he replied "The Bosses car" because it was being done in secret. The Boss he was referring to was Ford's then new President Bunkie Knudson. The Boss 302 was actually more successful overall than the Boss 429 as it won The SCCA Trans Am Championship with Parnelli Jones driving. Both historic Fords just the same.
Well, the body of the car is remarkably stock. It doesnt even have a rollcage in it, just a rollbar. No real suspension mods i can see like a 4 link or anything. The engine is another story. That is i believe a 10 liter all aluminum aftermarket BOSS 429 engine. That engine probablly makes 900 to 1000 horsepower.
I've heard they some of the S code engines were actually NASCAR motors that made their way into cars and made somewhere around 550-600. The T and A code motors were more street oriented and made somewhere around 450
Ten lbs. would have gotten better times. I know, that's what I used with a bone stock, get this, 429 Torino Cobra, 12:42 ; 4:33:1 rear. Not the Cobra Jet engine, but the Thunderjet engine that was put in the first edition '70 Torino Cobra cars made in the fall of '69
The beauty just darts away! That's not raven black. At first I thought the color was so. But up close!?! I guess its the same color the 1969 Mach1 has in the John Wick movie.
This was my dream car and Ford offered me one of these, but I had a 66 Chevy two nova that I would not give up 327 and I used to turn eight 7 1/4. Are used to eat fords and hammy's for breakfast. Used to go up to Gainesville Florida, with those rich boys with how many kudos and used to have them crying, such is life
I had a 429 super cobra engine in 1970 put it in 65 Galaxy. Left 3 speed in. 60 in 1st 90 in second then hold on. I want to experience this again. How cam I locate super cobra parts
So sweet, I was hoping you took on that silver ROUSH, Jack Roush edition that was in the right lane. That does in the 10's and wth is that doing at the track. Both should be in air conditioned garages, with dehumidifiers!

Ten lbs. would have gotten better times. I know, that's what I used with a bone stock, get this, 429 Torino Cobra, 12:42 ; 4:33:1 rear. Not the Cobra Jet engine, but the Thunderjet engine that was put in the first edition '70 Torino Cobra cars made in the fall of '69
@@bubblejomay Amazing. You know more about the guys car than the guy that runs 10 flat in it, ferchrissakes. ROFLMAO!!!
The beauty just darts away! That's not raven black. At first I thought the color was so. But up close!?! I guess its the same color the 1969 Mach1 has in the John Wick movie.
Awesome set up. Can you tell me, are you using a top loader gearbox. ?
Its a Jerico H-pattern. The Jerico trans is a modern day beefed up top loader.
That was a nice Saleen in the background
All stock Boss 429 had small carbs and wimpy camshafts. Put a good carb and a decent cam and they can kick Chevy and Mopar asses
Lorenzo Maximo They did anyway .
Ya all day long
That's awesome right there. Easily a 9 second car.
It wasn't built to be the boss. It was built to be boss, and boss it is.
@Robert OHara - And yet it was named for the boss - Bunkie Knudson, the new President of Ford Motor Co.
This was my dream car and Ford offered me one of these, but I had a 66 Chevy two nova that I would not give up 327 and I used to turn eight 7 1/4. Are used to eat fords and hammy's for breakfast. Used to go up to Gainesville Florida, with those rich boys with how many kudos and used to have them crying, such is life
And, THEN YOU WOKE UP !!!
Bravo! This is how you put real horsepower to the pavement. I'll bet you guys could make the 144 log head in my falcon run into the 13's lol.
I had a 429 super cobra engine in 1970 put it in 65 Galaxy. Left 3 speed in. 60 in 1st 90 in second then hold on. I want to experience this again. How cam I locate super cobra parts
Was that a little nitrous puff coming out down track?
love that black/green color
Freaking bad ass car. Last thing any chevy, Pontiac or Chrysler owner wants to see is a BOSS 429 in the opposite lane .
That's what you call 60's tech.
10 seconds???? Wow....just Wow!
Man that thing hooked too!
THAT'S ONE BAD BAD GIRL!
Absolutely gorgeous
Omg that's fast for a classic!
The color is Black Jade for anyone wondering.
WOW! That is quick!
FYeah man! One bad ass Ford!
Any car that's faster than my motorcycle in the 1/4 gets my vote.
Amazing Boss Engine
damn near shocked at the 2.00 mark to see how huge the engine is , sounded a lot like a Nascar in the day would sound.
MY FAVORITE MUSTANG OF ALL TIME AND SPEED PROVE IT
So sweet, I was hoping you took on that silver ROUSH, Jack Roush edition that was in the right lane. That does in the 10's and wth is that doing at the track. Both should be in air conditioned garages, with dehumidifiers!
looks like the suspension is set up to handle the power .not a stock intake .mite be a clone boss with more cubes .Kaas racing sells boss clones based on a 460 block .nice looking car !
