I was looking for an FE 427 for my 1st choice and a SB 427 as my 2nd choice last year. The one I chose after 8 months of looking has a Roush 427 SR/Twisted Wedge cam with a TKO 600 and it has been fantastic to drive. Tons of power and very quick for me at 512 hp/522 tq. It has 6500 miles and no engine problems or
oil burning for me. I am very happy with this combo and its dependability.
I must say, however, that if it ever did blow up, I would probably replace the motor with an aluminum FE 427.
