"Big V8"... What would that be?
LOL Im guessing they got no clue. By then though I think the most you could get was a 351?
I almost bought one back in 84. beige with tan interior. had a 351 in it. Boy was that thing a tank. ended up with A 78 merc. monarch . looked exactly the same as a cougar but shorter and a heck of a lot lighter
I've seen a few with the 400M in them.I had a burgandy '79 XR-7 with a 351W and sunroof.Nice car.
Come on you know the "BIG V8" The technical term for the motor...
When I think BIG V-8, I think 460, yum. Of course, some people think just because it is a V-8, means it's big. I remember when 302's were considered a puny motor. I remember a guy looking at a Granada and seeing it had a 302 in it, and his comment was, "302?, with dual exhaust, it doesn't have enough motor for dual exhaust", or something to that effect. Some of the mid 70's cats actualy had 460's, not many. So who knows.
none of the 77-79 cats had 460's the only engines available were 302, 351w, 351M, and 400 (77 and 78 only). hang tight when I get moved there will be some work on the two 79's I have. been itching to do some stuff to them for a while. :evilgrin:
