Default stroking a 427 so
Other than ego,why would you want to stroke a 427so?It seems one of the reasons it is so good is its short stroke a large bore,allowing good revs and long life.The 428 with its longer stroke was made to power Fords large passenger cars with lots of torque(hardly what we need in our cars)So why risk reliability on such a great motor? chuck
