Default Re: 1970 SCJ Falcon

There's a lot of misinformation about Fords - check out Mr. Sefton's '71 Cobra in the latest MCR and you'll see a few mistakes - so I'll try to balance it out the best I can since I'm not a Ford guy.

Any Cobra Jet with the Drag Pack becomes a Super Cobra Jet.

Most important is the 3.91 or 4.30 gears (or, for 1971 429 Mustangs, the former or 4.11 gears). Then there's a different carb, rods, and more heavy-duty stuff, plus an external oil cooler.

The Drag Pack was available on the non-ram air and ram air cars, but the DP is MUCH rarer on the non-ram air cars.

In the past, some references suggest the R-code (428) or J-code (429) motors, which are CJs with ram air, automatically make it a SCJ, but this is not true. SCJs are CJs with Drag Packs - simple as that!
