you're confused? I'm so confused I'm tempted to un-subscribe, and I'm the numbskull who started this thread .

all I want(ed) to know is can I have a 427 FE motor (stock displacement) that can reliably hit the red line as often I choose and still have enough reliability to drive across the country w/o undue worry. Or do I need to limit my fun to low & midrange torque-type excitement?
