After the 1970 season, NASCAR effectively banned the "aero cars", by restricting all four of the limited aero "production" cars to having to compete with engines no larger than 305 cubic inches of displacement (vs. the 426, 427, & 429 inches that the other cars could run), and the competitive history of the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II (and its ...
The Mustang's engine compartment was not wide enough to accommodate the massive Boss 429 engine, so Ford contracted with Kar Kraft of Dearborn, Michigan, to modify 4-speed Cobra Jet Mustangs to accept it. Kar Kraft was a Ford exclusive experimental facility that functioned as Vehicle Engineering for Ford's Special Vehicles.
The first was the 429 Thunder Jet, the standard engine for the Cobra, rated at 360 hp (270 kW).

If a V or W axle was ordered (3.90 or 4.30 locking ratio) on any Cobra Jet Mustang, engine improvements were added to make it more reliable on the strip.
Ford developed two high-performance street versions of the 429 between 1969 and 1971, the Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet. The Cobra Jet (429CJ) was fitted with a Rochester Quadrajet 715 cu ft/min (20.2 m 3 /min) Spreadbore 4-bbl carburetor, a larger camshaft; a special set of cylinder heads (DOOE-R) 73.5 CC, combustion chamber and canted valve ...
Prototype Ford Torino King Cobra and 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II on display.

Later in the season, the Boss 429 engine was used by many of the teams, after it had finally been declared "officially homologated" by NASCAR president Bill France. The Boss 429 engine was homologated in the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. In a very unusual move, Ford homologated the engine separately from the car in which it was to race.
