Re: Anybody know the horsepower on a 1970 429 4v?

Advertised horsepower 360 @ 4600 rpm, advertised torque 476 ft lbs @ 2800 rpm, advertised compression ratio 11.0:1. Great motor but it will need the hard exhaust seats put in to run on todays fuel. Are you buying the car to drive it or just to get the motor? Like any of the old Ford motors, it will respond real well to improvements to cam, exhaust, and cylinder head upgrades. The lower ends were pretty tough.
