427 hp specs[edit]

Hello, the horsepower specs you quoted for the 427 Ford fe engine are incorrect, the 616 & 657 amounts are for the sohc 427, not the engine used in nascar, the sohc 427 never raced in nascar. If the pushrod version made that much horsepower, they wouldn't have needed to make the 427 sohc, because the 426 hemi was not rated that high. Also Ford would have dominated and won in 1965 with any 427, because the 426 hemi was banned, when it returned in 1966, it was championships in 66 & 67. Neither reference you list supports your statement.Thanks, Kevin 166.205.209.48 (talk) 21:52, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

INCORRECT DIVISION NAME[edit]

The NASCAR second-tier division name is incorrectly referred to as "Xfinity series" in the 1980's. This should be changed to the correct division name for the time period discussed.

In this article, it states: "in the 1980's, NASCAR Xfinity Series competitors..." This is factually wrong. The second-tier division of NASCAR was not called "Xfinity Series" until 2015.

Even according to Wikipedia's own article on the "NASCAR Xfinity Series" "The series was previously called the Budweiser Late Model Sportsman Series in 1982 and 1983, the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series from 1984 through 2002, the NASCAR Busch Series from 2003 through 2007, and the NASCAR Nationwide Series from 2008 through 2014. Since 2015, it is sponsored by Comcast via its consumer cable and wireless brand Xfinity."

I believe the article should be changed to use the correct NASCAR division name used during the time period being discussed. 72.73.114.47 (talk) 15:48, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
