Okay guys.
Thanks everyone for you input. My minds been made up. I'm going to do what I can to get the 427 FE into my car. I think ir really because it's a 427 bodied car and to me, that what belongs inside the engine bay. As many of you alluded to it's about the legend and well, despite the extra work, this must be the only route I think.
The engine can be heard running and I am going to get it professionally appraised. Here's the spec and my application is intended only for the street.
Can anybody see any glaring holes here?
Thanks in advance guys
