Yeah but how many EVER made it to production? 428 wasnt even around then.
I disagree.
The 428 SCJ was top dog in terms of production street Mustangs.
If you want to get technical as far as the baddest motor during the muscle car period,.. the Boss 429 (with a few tweaks) could trump the 427 easily. They had to choke the street version down. I owned a 69 428 SCJ Mach 1 in 1986. My friends older brother had a 70 Boss 429. He had custom headers made and an aftermarket intake and larger Holley Carb but still had the factroy cam in it,. and he smoked my Mach 1. He ran in the 11's and my best pass was a 12.9,.. mostly ran low 13's. But for the record,.. other then some Thrush turbo mufflers and a Hurst competition shifter and Zoom clutch,.. my car was bone stock. 69 and 70 are basically the same car,.. just cosmetics. Like the SN95 and New Edge Mustangs.
