I'd like to be able to pop the hood and see the 427 logo on the pentroof rocker covers that matches the one on the outside of the car, and when I'm driving know it's a real side oiler. Why I can't tell you, it's kind of an emotional reaction.

Makes no sense in a way, a newer replica Cobra with a 45 year old engine.

But since the hood will (we hope) be closed most of the time, idling in traffic and not overheating and being reasonably tractable at lower speeds is important. A nice lumpy idle but nothing too extreme. A 427 s/o in that little car is extreme enough for me, even in lower powered (relatively) street tune.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm asking too much.
