I thought about this silly thread all night,,we all sounds like kids arguing over whos daddy has the most important job,I didnt dream of having my shell valley car,the fantasy would be csx 3022,,then csx 4???,,but had settled for an spf ,,then ran across this car at a deal,,BUT,now I have it,,and I can see it is a great car, i think most are,it is all in the build and detail,,bottom line is real world experience is better than reading and specs{in some ways}.we tend to split hairs,, ,the 427 is the premier performance engine built by any one,,but that was 40 years ago,I admit I am into the nostalgia thing,but I have loads of experience with the motors,,all before alum shelbys and dove,,390's in cars and 361/391's in heavy trucks,,they are some of the greatest,but not with worn out,,junk yard parts.
But there are many other great motors ,,I guess all of them if done right,,
all the comparison is done using 1960's 427 specs,,I would love to see a freshly prepared 427 with trick suspensions and good tires like all of the newer cars used,,that would be fair,,another thing is,,we are talking max built 351's and 460's,,compared to fairly tame 427's,I think the shelby blocks can be stroked/bored to over 800 ci,s..so,,this isnt apples and apples
I think we should use this forum for what it is meant,,learning and trading ideas,,not bickering,,hell,,we ALL have awesome cars,,i say we enjoy them more,, and pick at eachother less,,Tk
