Re: 1970 FORD 429 SCJ DRAG PACK cool
Ok Im looking to further my educationon the CJ or SCJ cars, I had a yellow 70 729 4 speed bench seat 4 wheel drum brakes Cobra Torino - not a GT but someone had added the taillights(which I liked) it had the snake deals and 429 emblems on it, had a factory rev limiter bolted to the fender the sewer por D00E heads-with adjustable rockers and equal bore cast iron intake 3.90 gears I was always under the impression that it was a SCJ car not a CJ. would any of what I listed help prove either way? I dont know or remember the vin, its been gone about 15 years now, it never had the original short block in it, when I got it it had a broken rod and plenty of milkshake in the pan but it did start and idle in that condition (LOL) I built a 466 for it and has=d some street fun with it I wanted some custom plats that would of been 2tnsfn and it sure was 2 tons of fun! 3850lbs for a unibody car it was marginly faster than my lighter 427 Camaro. I sold it and a few years later recieved a call from a new owner wondering what I had done to the motor? I asked why and he stated because it ran so good - suprisingly this was 30k miles after I sold it. I do miss alot of my old cars....
thoughts on what my car was originally?
