1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Reply #6 – November 07, 2007, 03:12:25 AM When I think BIG V-8, I think 460, yum. Of course, some people think just because it is a V-8, means it's big. I remember when 302's were considered a puny motor. I remember a guy looking at a Granada and seeing it had a 302 in it, and his comment was, "302?, with dual exhaust, it doesn't have enough motor for dual exhaust", or something to that effect. Some of the mid 70's cats actualy had 460's, not many. So who knows. Quote Selected
1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Reply #7 – November 07, 2007, 12:45:10 PM none of the 77-79 cats had 460's the only engines available were 302, 351w, 351M, and 400 (77 and 78 only). hang tight when I get moved there will be some work on the two 79's I have. been itching to do some stuff to them for a while.
