I didn't have to watch for 2 seconds to know the answer to that thumbnail question: COMPRESSION. Back then you could get 100 octane gasoline at Sunoco, just dial it in at the pump. With 100 octane you could safely run 13.5 to one compression as long as you jetted the carburetor a little rich.
The 1964 GTO kicked off the Muscle Car era. The Mustang and Barracuda were not initially Muscle Cars. The Buick Nailhead was a 264, 322, 364, 401, and 425 versions. The 215 aluminum engine was not a nailhead. The Chrysler HEMI lasted through 1958 in it's first version.
Well, you got a few details wrong for sure but there's is nothing like the kick in the ass from Holly 850 double pumper on a great manifold. Fuel injection is nice but......
Really No Special Sauce .... the ShortStroke BigBlocks , Teamed w Big Compression , Big Cam , Big Carbs , would Jus FLAT OUT EAT !!!🔥!!!!!🔥!!! regardless of Make .... then it waz A matter of Tuning N who waz the Best Wrench ....🛠.... Helluva Time 2 Live ..... Nobody knew we'd wake'up One Morning N It would All B Gone ..... Lightning inna' Bottle type thing .....
What awful make no sense video. A Aluminum Nailhead in a Rover and Pontiacs V8 making max of 310hp.. Take this video down please!! Nothing you state is correct. Anything to make a dollar?? Sad!

I had a 426 max wedge in the late 80s, and I had to drive to a drag strip to get fuel It could use.
I'm an old school mopar guy but you probably should have mentioned the GTO before the pony cars.
The old engines were nice but can't match the power of the new ones
The Oldsmobile Rocket V-8 came out in 1949, the v-8 Old's introduced in 1916 was a 40 hp side-valve that was not called a "rocket".
Thank you.
Large displacement, high compression, large carburetors, and long duration high lift camshafts.
Oh my gosh what Oldsmobile had planned after the 455 but then the emissions crap started and they had to shelve it.

Compression supported by 110 octane fuel. Mostly 110 octane fuel
Cams, cubes, carbs and compression. Yeah baby

Rovers never used nailhead Buick engines Rover purchased the patterns for the 215 cu.in. aluminum Buick from GM.

Easy ,no smog bullcrap
Number 7 Pontiac, "did not" share it's design with other GM V8's.
Displacement too...
They bumped up compression ratio
1964 Pontiac GTO started it all. '65 Mustang? Seriously?
Click bait !!! what are the secrets
