Yes, the 427S.O. IS the reigning most sought after engine, next is the 428 and then 351. From what I have been told the best for the track is the 302 built, due to the balance of the car. I am in the process of building a Hi-Tech and would love to have a 427SO but for the money I'll have to go for a 428. Shelby, Kerkham, Hi-tech, ERA are the tops. My .02 I am not an expert just going on what I have learned from some knowleable people.
P.S. It seems that I may also be in the market again since my Hi-Tech is theoretically going to Japan. I'll know more after the checks in the bank 4/26/03. GOOD LUCK!
It is a buyers market right now, luckily for us. I hope to find the right car at a price the seller and myself will be happy about!
