    Cleveland with a beefed up cam from the factory. It was called a CJ Cobra-Jet.

    Q-code (351 Cobra-Jet)[edit]
    The Q-code 351 "Cobra-Jet" (also called 351-CJ, 351-4V) was produced from May 1971 through the 1974 model year. It was a lower-compression design that included open-chamber 4V heads.[5] The open-chamber heads exhibited superior emissions characteristics and were required to meet the more stringent emissions standards for 1972 and beyond.[1] The "351 CJ" high-performance engine included a different intake manifold, high-lift, long-duration camshaft with hydraulic valve lifters, different valve springs and dampers, a 750-CFM spread-bore 4300-D Motorcraft carburetor, dual-point distributor (with four-speed manual transmissions only), and four-bolt main bearing caps. These engines also featured induction-hardened exhaust seats for use with low-lead and unleaded gasoline.[5] This engine was different from the 1970-71 M-code 351C having a more aggressive camshaft, a spread-bore carburetor, a four-bolt block[15] and the lower compression allowed regular fuel to be used.[18] It was rated at 280 bhp (209 kW; 284 PS) for all 1971 applications. For the 1972 model year, the only change to the engine was a retarding the camshaft events by 4°.[1] The engine was rated at 266 hp (198 kW) (SAE net) for 1972 when installed in the Mustang, and 248 hp (185 kW) in the Torino and Montego.[5] An increase in the combustion chamber size and the use of smaller valves occurred in 1973,[1] which reduced horsepower to 246 hp (183 kW) for the four-barrel for the intermediate Fords, though it still retained the higher 266 hp (198 kW) rating in the Mustang.[5] The 351 CJ (now referred to as the "351 4V") was rated at 255 hp (190 kW) in 1974 and was only installed in the Ford Ranchero, Ford Torino, Mercury Montego, and Mercury Cougar.[14]

    Speaking of Grand Torinos, it’s hard to believe this was a 2 door coupe! You’d think something that big would be 4 doors.

    Yep that was about 12 -15 inches longer than the Mach 1 and that long Mustang front end was a real bear in the hills.... had to guess where it was most of the time.

    Since it was lucky to get 10 mpg the gold coins would be appropriate ...lol

    Ironic - Global warming might actually be accelerated by increased number of solar panels in deserts.

    Covering 20% of the Sahara with solar farms raises local temperatures in the desert by 1.5°C according to our model. At 50% coverage, the temperature increase is 2.5°C. This warming is eventually spread around the globe by the atmosphere and ocean movement, raising the world’s average temperature by 0.16°C for 20% coverage, and 0.39°C for 50% coverage. The global temperature shift is not uniform though – the polar regions would warm more than the tropics, increasing sea ice loss in the Arctic. This could further accelerate warming, as melting sea ice exposes dark water which absorbs much more solar energy.​

    Seriously? Are you actually posting an “article” from that nutty, click-baity “news” site “inverse.com”, and trying to pass it off as a “legitimate” news source? Here is a sampling of “articles” published today on inverse.com, most of which are absolutely ridiculous.
