Nothing sounds as good as a big old FE Ford. Sounds great ❤❤❤

Memories... I had a '69 428CJ, T&C Top Loader 4spd, N case 9" rear w/3.91s, Torino Cobra some years ago. Mostly as Ford built it but some serious "fiddling" in the tuning department. The stock 735cfm was gone through by a friend who worked at Holley R&D on 9mile rd. in Warren MI, I recurved the mechanical advance in the stock distributor (limited the vacuum adv. but kept it as the car was my daily also), shimmed/spaced the rocker shafts up to reduce the pre-load in the lifters, always ran Echlin HD ignition points with careful attention to contact alignment and spring tension, Motorcraft secondary ignition parts (wires etc.), also trimmed the side electrodes and indexed the plugs, ran a Mallory Voltmaster II coil. 2-1/2" duals off the CJ manifolds with an X pipe and the least restrictive turbo mufflers of the day - I think Arvin made 'em. All steel bushings in a Hurst competition plus, a Hayes 3000lb clutch and some suspension tuning my cousin who ran a CJ Mustang in stock class taught me, and a torque strap on the driver's side head down to the unibody "frame rail" - tore itself off the driver's side mount twice before the strap. It rarely lost a race against the big block Mopars and GMs around (a loss was almost always me being sloppy about the leave and melting the tires) and still drove just fine in traffic - never overheated or killed a plug during rush hr. God I miss that car.

That's an eargasm right there !!, sounds like a sprintcar on idle ,, credit to you sir for retaining her for forty years 👍

I had a 1957 Ranchero with 428cj stuffed with 427 parts. Big spline top loader 9 inch trac loc 3.70 factory 427 2x4bbl holleys. It blew a head gasket and broke a couple pistons between the ring lands. Then i found a complete 428scj with lemans rods and pendulum spacer. It was sure not the same as the original 428cj that someone from the 70s built. The scj reved slower due to the hezvy rods. When you punch the gas it would put a smile on your face so big even a slap from will smith at the oscars couldnt wipe off.

The sound of an old school power plant never gets old.

Sweet set up , love to see her turn some tires over .. 3 2 barrels always a sweet set up

You have a gem right here. This motor tore up roads and tracks across the country.

I was a teen in the late 70s early 80s..A guy moved his family two houses down from us..he had a 1968 Shelby cobra..god i just loved that car I can still remember the day he said get in lets go for a ride..it had 2- 4barrel carbs..He ended up moving a few years later..never saw another car like it..it was actually the same color blue with the white racing stripe down the center too

Had a 1968 Torino Cobra Jet . B&M trans . Remember that car for the rest of my life .

NICE!!! I'm mainly a bowtie guy... but always loved a healthy Ford, AMC, and Mopar. LONG LIVE THE V8s!

I expected just a perfect clean start, thank you for sharing this with me and my family and great day.

Thanks very much, I hope you get happiness from this , it brings back a memory in 1977 a good friend bought a 71 Torino, with the same motor, and I never saw a more happy guy the day he bought the car, when he gave me the first ride, I remember the laughter from both of us the whole time. For the next 5 years I remember the money he put into that car, and that w3as his life for a long time. GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS.

Such sweet, beautiful music 🎶!!!

Glad to see you are doing this project. I had one in a 76 F250 Custom with the 3 speed manual transmission and she would grunt like no one's business. Great day and thank you for sharing.

Beautiful. I built a 428 with my dad for mud racer 57 fairlane fiberglass shell aluminum frame 44s it was a beast. The 428 block we got filled and over bored it was low buck back yard build. It was on nitris too. After build we got it on dyno 1380 HP . These 428 are great. Huge valves and with bore and bit work you get plenty HP. This one is great too. Ford 460 block is my next project building a 1500hp 460 thanks for the channel. Cool vids

That is so cool. I found a torino cobra back in the early 80s that had a cobra jet in it. The car sat in a barn for many years, dumped some gas in the carb and it started right up. Sounded mean.

Oh man what a famous beast, you know its got some crazy torque. That engine alone is prolly worth more than some cars. Crazy that the idle is strangely reminicent of a cummins, I have the urge just to hear it run on repeat.

So cool it doesn’t even need a car! Though a Pantera would be the cherry on top.

Total clickbait. You can totally tell from timing chain bolts that your engine is not a BOSS 429! Awesome engine, sir. Sounds amazing. I have a friend with a Pontiac 400 with three 2s, and he refuses to part with them. Totally agree, they look awesome, and run excellent when tuned correctly. Keep up the great work!!

Looks and sounds great! Nice work on the engine stand too. Love the 3x2 set-up as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing better than the rumble of an American V8

Looks and sounds great my friend. Excellent build on both the engine and the engine stand. Nice touch with the skull mufflers and throttle control. 👌😎

Very nice. I have a professionally built 460 that hasn't been started and sat for 20 years. The 68 Torino I was going to put it in was worth more kept as original I figured out. Before I start it I need to remove the inner valve springs for safer cam break in. Thanks for giving me some motivation.

My dad had a 1970 Thunderbird with one of these under the hood. Giant car, giant hood, giant doors. The gas gauge was the fastest thing on that car.

Had quite a few 440's along with 460's back in the 70's. Those 460's were my favorite. Never had the opportunity to own a CJ much less a SCJ. That's one great sounding piece of work you have there sir. Make you a deal, if you've got a old Ford to drop it in I'll come help for free. I just ask to get to drive once.

All I can hear it screaming , is put me in something .🔥

Run it with the pipes open,let it breathe.please post so we can appreciate old school power

Had this exact combination in a 66 falcon. The 3 two barrel carbs from a 406. It flowed well enough. 300degrees of duration and 515 lift(optional SCJ cam. It was stupid fast, for the time.

Very, very NICE. I have practically the same thing in my garage. 351w built for my 04 Mustang, sounds quite simillar.

Incredible sweet engine, brother.

The first engine I ever rebuilt was a 1969 428 Cobra Jet out of a Mach One. The driver dropped a valve and I had to work from there.

Coolness factor with 3 2s is right ..what a beast

Great video Ford power forever baby l love it my dad had the same exact setup in a 62 galaxie convertible it was a mean combo

Nice. Sounds like the carbs could be tuned on a bit. Other than that sounds like a nice 60s big block. I bet the 2.25" mufflers and bends are chocking it back a bit. 3" off the headers would make a world of difference. Nice build sir.

Love the FE engine my 17 year old son is waiting to put a 410 FE in a 74F100

That's an awesome engine stand!

Super cool motor, and test stand. Well done.

Love that motor, and of course the 429 and the 427 and the 460....lol

Very cool. Nice job building that.

That’s just cool!! Nice job dude.

Nice. It looks like you had fun building it all👍

She’s a beaut, Clark! ❤

I was looking on the internet one evening and came upon an add about a 69 mustang Mach 1 R code car in a copart auction in Billings Montana. We bid on it and after bidding a lot of money, won the sale. This car has the big 428 FE cobra jet and 4 speed trans and are in the process of restoration. Like in the video, these cobra jet engines roar.

I have a 67 428 from a Thunderbird. It's just a plain 4 bbl. Motor but it's a cool motor and it still runs. Wish I had something to put it in!!.The old T-bird is rotted all over.

Beautiful engine.

Very cool!

I don't need the car just give me that in my garage to start and listen to every now and then

Nothing says America like building an awesome sounding v8 to put on a stand to take out on occasion just to piss the neighbors off

Would like to see how this engine does on the dyno at Nick's garage.

Nice engine stand you made there!

BEAUTIFUL...GOOD JOB !!!(I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, FE 352,& 390 BUILD UP( BACK TO 60' RAN GOOD " OVAL" 500 MILES) TO INSTALL HOME MADE AC COBRA " FIBER" BORE& STROKE TO 427??? HOW TO. THANKS, RALPH 🙏.

Dude that's so freaking cool

I would Love to hear that Beast with Open Headers !!

She needs a home brother! Put her in something sounds amazing

I love it brother. Crazy but my charged and cammed 2008 bullitt sounds almost the same.

ABSOLUTELY KILLER !!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't listen to the haters! Cause everyone thinks they know everything about everything!! Nice motor 👌 long live the ford motor!!

Bigger exhaust whole different animal

thank you for sharing. made my day

I am happy with that too !

nice job.

i drove a 70 mustang with what i thought was a 351 cleveland it ran like a mother fuck damn fast

Why why is it that I can never be lucky to have a neighbor like this???

Mighty 428 it sounds great👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻💯💯💯

Nice. That sounds a lot like my 75 f150. It's got a 428 cobra jet, just not the scj.

That sounds awesome

Beautiful stand ✌

That's sounds great big fuel bill I bet but worth it very nice

That sounds so awesome. Nothing sounds as sweet as a perfectly built big block. I wonder that is worth?

sounds like a funny car at idle.

Mine was a 70' Mustang, Mach 1, 428 Cobra Jet. Was it a "Super" Cobra Jet? Didn't know there was such a thing back then, and didn't put much thought into it anyway. However, when one of those massive intakes broke off, and ricocheted around, the engine was done for. Pulled it apart and the connecting rods had the word "NASCAR" cast into the webbing. Didn't need them anymore, so I sold them to a friend of mine. He took them to be checked for straightness, and had them polished.....so no more "NASCAR". I do remember the intake was cast iron and felt like it weighed 100 pounds.

Love it! Not a big fan of the three deuces, Dual quads is my thing,, But yeah, three deuces looks cool!

Sounds great

the old monsters

That would look amazing in my 69 Marauder.

1:51 that horse heard the mustang call

Awesome! Thanks!

Like Lee iacocca said the 428 is a boat anchor compared to the 427

The car build for that should be, Thor's Hammer.😮

On startup, it sounded like one cylinder was not firing. I know everyone wants to give advice and is usually worthless, but check the gap on the spark plugs.

Love this, but you gotta take those mufflers off! Let's really hear it! Your neighbours will love it!

Damn that is sweet.

You’re a fucking artist brother

Cool man i went and got a 650 holley off a guy who used a 455 pontiac to do his tests and play on.thats what i should do with my spr8nt motor!

good job!

That’s very cool

wow that is an awesome build 40 yrs ago...thumbs up !! so I'm building a Log Splitter from ground up.....would this be a good fit fo an engine if available ..? 😉

The voice actor of Christine

Very nice.. God bless you man That is sooo cool Ifu don't got something to put it into My e46 bmw wld be thankful to have it under the hood !! Lol jk God bless you An your bad ass motor

Something that sweet should have rain caps on the mufflers!

That is BAD ASS!!!!!!

Get it to spin a small clock and itll officially be a sweet ass time piece.

Sounds good!!!

Nice to be retired nicely done now if we could just find a Ford pinto to put that thing in you'll be all set

Man i love me a solid ford v8 🫢💦

That engine has been sitting in your garage for 40years ? WHAT OTHER FELONIES HAVE YOU COMMITTED ? Sounds great ! You really need to find a vintage Mustang to drop that bad boy in. Give it a real home.

Eargasm ❤

What little kid convinced you to put the punisher skulls on the mufflers?

Love it!

I want my 428 internally balanced dammit
