back in time--
I was raised in the Wenatchee Washington area. Big time wet snow storms. Me and others preferred a 3/4 ton Ford factory hi-boy 4 wd to plow the snow. The engine to have was a 428 cobra jet. Nelson had a 429 scj, super cobra jet in his truck. Even with quiet mufflers it sounded like those Canidian locomotives as they were coming down the canyon off Stevens pass, it rumbled!! After winter they sat in the sheds until wood cutting time in the fall. no replacement for displacement!! Nelsons 429 could go over 100 mph pulling a trailer with a race car up the western side of Stevens pass. We had a Ford galaxy- 60s, it was a Texas police interceptor, The 390 was a nascar engine. scary fast!! The heads on this engine were Hemi - wider than a 428 cobra jet.
