429 SCJ MOTOR

MY engine with correct ram air breather

Hood Locks were part of the Ram Air Hood. Ram air was an option on cars with a 351 ci or larger.

It was the drag pack option Which included modifications to the engine. Holley carb solid lifters (oil coolers were optional) + rev limiters on 4 speed cars.

Inside the cockpit is the Instrumention group. This was an option on all 71's

Instrumentation group included a Tach, oil pressure temp and alt. gauges Note the AM Radio. Also an option

Here is a copy of the original factory invoice. Note the drag pack option indicating a Super Cobra Jet.
