I wasn't aware that they make a modern day aluminum 428 for comparison purposes. For comparison accuracy, we should only consider aluminum 427's and iron 427's.

BTW, there are at least several examples of aluminum 427's with over 10,000 miles and going strong. I think my aluminum 482 is wonderful......when I pass by it in the garage.
