Anyone here know anything about Ford Pickups and engines?

I actually did not care for my 71 351C 4v (ram air, none the less).

It was a royal ***** to work on, and didn't seem anywhere near as powerful as urban legend suggested.

It was an 80,000 mile original. I was the second owner.
It had lived those 80K as a highway trailer puller with it's PO.
I got beat by several gm 350s in that car (71 torino GT), and I NEVER lost to any gm in my 318 66 Coronet (!) or my 70 383 Super Bee.

That car was however, one of the nicest, unmolested cars I've ever owned.

To this day, I have not seen another 71 torino GT factory 351 shaker hood car.
(They've all been 429 cars)
