| I would never have a scoop on a 73. The front looks sweet without adding one of any type whether grafting a 72 or a Torino like he has. But to each their own |

Guy is nice and down to earth...but a few things, like the air shocks...needs to learn not to tie the lines to a single tee fitting. Jim Williams wrecked his S&H car that way. -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

I'm curious about his 450 CFM carb for his 400 V8. I have a 600 CFM on my 351C with 2V heads. I guess if you're not going past 4,000 RPM, it would flow enough. ------------- 1972 Gran Torino station wagon, light blue, 351C 2V, prior owner upgraded to 4V (2V heads), originally had a C4 but prior owner changed to C6 for some reason. |

Way undersized IMO. Factory 400 carbs were typically 500CFM? I know there were factory carbs for 400 V8's that were actually a tick bigger. I ran an Edelbrock 1405 A 600CFM performer carb on my '79 F150 4x4 for years and I hated the start up over the factory carb, but driving, it was miles better with the 4 barrel carb. I also had swapped to a used Torker intake so on the stock 400, it was OK for how the truck was. ------------- Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

I had some time to watch the videos, not too bad. It's nice to see an old Torino get some positive coverage. He clearly loves the car. I personally don't mind a scoop on a '73. I actually think the Boss 429 style scoop looks better on a '73 than a '72 style scoop. It seems to match the blunt front end better. I am curious on the 450 carb too? That would offer nothing over the stock 2100. That Holley 2-bbl that was on there was defintely smaller than the original 2100. When my '72 400 was stock I did a 4bbl swap like him, but used a Holley 670. It really woke up the engine on the high end, pulled very nicely for a stock low compression engine. I agree on the air shocks. He also needs to get some stiffer springs or sway bars on that beast.
