Specifications for 1973 429 TBird

[CalBird]

Could someone provide the performance specifications for a 1973 429 TBird. I had bought this from my uncle in 1986 and know that it feels like it has a lot of power and torque but wanted to know the specifics. If you can provide the information or a source of information, it would be appreciated.

I am unsure of the torque, but stock 429s and 460s both came with around 208 horsepower. I know it seems a bit low, but hey, at least it aint a 1980 thunderbird, which only had 81 hp!!!
