To clarify, this car is not for me - it's a gift for another. I would prefer a Shelby 427 FE (468 CID) but this isn't about me.
When I was a little kid I went to a cobra meet in Northern Cal. I went around to all the cars in pure admiration. However, after seeing 4 or 5 in a row that ran with 289 or 302, while still boasting the 427 badge on the side - I was so let down.
From then on I have always believed that if your car has a number on the side - that's the engine that should be in it (if not bigger).
I apologize if I ruffled any feathers. I have heard great things about this forum.
Doug, what made you decide to go with the Roush 402SR? Since more people seem to be going with smaller engines in these cars now days - maybe I am missing something??haha
