Mustangs hey day. Shows just how committed Ford was to that famous "nose high" attitude. Even with a heavy assed big block up front, it STILL sits up ;>winking

A big block isn't that much heaver then a small block, coil springs can hold a quit a lot of weight.

Very true Anonymous@16728, but the extra 100lbs or so extra that the 429 likely added did nothing to help the already ill handling capabilities of the Mustang of that era.

Fine for straight line performance, just don't expect it to have any cornering capabilities ... or figure it out when you're having it pulled out of a ditch ; >winking

The suspensions on these cars were pitiful even on a good day.
