That's actually another wives tale. Where an engine gets its power and loses it is a function of the camshaft and cylinder heads. Otherwise, you can make a 427FE behave exactly like a 427SBF.
Everyone thinks that because it's a big block that it's going to have mind-numbing torque at any rpm and automatically peter out at low rpms, or since it's a small block that it's going to rev to the moon and be gutless at low rpm. Just doesn't happen like that in reality.
