Well, last week was a bad week. My 427w threw a rod- pretty much destroyed the motor and blew a hole in the
oil pan. I am in the market for a new 427w. I am thinking of a Smeding 427w with 460hp and 510 ft. lbs of torque. I want to take my Classic Roadsters to the edge, but not where it is too much to handle on the street. I enjoy cruising as much as an occasional race (most of them on the track or autocross). My car weighs roughly 2700lbs and has a 4-speed top loader- any suggestions on motors or max hp?
