Ford nhra a/a stock record holder and more

Well again history has been made in the old 08 cobra jet... Prob be factored out of existence, bwtf here it is as it stands the fastest ever stock production car in nhra stock history... Stock car, no headwork, cam and limited mods spelled out what can be done in the rules by nhra... I might think a 2010 475hp might go 8's... This is the tvs model, not the 3.4 whipple. Ford was damn smart in doing this... And of course Robert Ponds 67 fairlane w a 427 fe stick.. Smart guy w lots of exp. Ford holds top et and speed in stock class auto and stick... Finally.. If someone can find a vid great...

I would love to have one of robert ponds alum crate mtrs in my 69... I know I talk about that a lot but man it costs some major $. Junkyard crap just won't cut it. How can I keep up w uncle taylor w a 400 shot on my junkyard crap that's been beat on since 1969.?

Right on the money.

I'm lazy, so flame all you want for that, but what tranny is he running vs what comes in the CJ from the factory?

From the Ford press release...


Likewise the 6-speed manual transmission that was available in the ‘08 Cobra Jet will be standard, but an option to upgrade to 5-speed Liberty manual transmission or a race prepped automatic transmission will be available.

c4 I believe w auto, calvert is running a liberty stick.

I did look up ss/ba class for the new optional 2010 cj. Record is...
SS/BA 8.84 11/29/09 David Thomas - West Chester, PA
'69 Chevrolet Cecil, GA
SS/BA 150.40 04/03/09 David Thomas - West Chester, PA
'69 Chevy Atco, NJ
So evidently ford thinks new optional cj will compete on that level....
