OK - Ford is back in the number one spot at NASCAR with it's Boss 429 powered Torino Talladega. What about NHRA? Mercury, Ford's sister corp. wanted a piece of the action and asked that a couple of Cougar Eliminators be given the Boss 429 treatment.

Unfortunately what works in NASCAR doesn't always work in NHRA and this proved out when the Boss 429 Cougars failed to garner the same results in drag racing that Ford was enjoying in NASCAR.

Look carefully at the specs. Notice that Ford is calling the engine a 429 Cobra Jet HO. The car is called the Boss 429 Mustang, not the engine.
