I don't know, I must be too 'mature' to understand this.
I have never been able to understand why, if you're building a replica, you would want to build mega-horsepower into your 289 replica or 427 replica. The originals got by with those displacements, so why do some of us chase so much displacement and horsepower that our cars become dangerous?
Were there 400+ cid Windsors and 500+ cid FEs available in the '60s? No. So why put them in now?

As Ed said above....
