The term "427" has a certain nostalgia magic to it. It's because the Ford (and Chevy) 427 engines were essentially the pinnacle of high performance in the 60's. The stuff dreams and memories were made of.
These days the guys that favor small blocks due to budget or perceived weight constraints like to justify the badges on the side of the car by targeting the 427 cubic inch displacement. There is a bit of marketing magic in there...
That oughta get a bunch of small block guys upset with me (as I duck under the table....beer in hand
)
