I see that I mis-spoke on the 427(FE) price...furthermore...on the displacement.
I was thinking that their 406 was a 390 based 427 w/ nod. crank...it's not. It's a 390 based 406 w/ nod. crank; but, it is an FE...isn't it? And it still makes nice H/P!
I was making the point, or attempting to, that you could buy one of the new CSX-4000's for $39k (As recently sold on e-bay) and add a center oiler and top-loader and still come in at that $50,000 price tag...
So, the new math:
$39,000.00 (CSX-4000 from Paul on e-bay...)
$ 8,500.00 (406-FE + "Cobra" acc's + carb and other goodies)
$ 1,700.00 (Std-Top-Loader-w/necessary parts)
---------------
$49,200.00
We're still looking good, unless you want to get snooty about sales tax n stuff, in which case I'm gonna call you a nag, I mean, if I want to hear that crap I'll tell the wife about my new engine bill...
Any-way, sorry about my screw-up and I'm glad someone pointed it out.
BTW, I hear some of the folks around here are keeping strange company...didn't I see a picture of a certain someone hangin' with Leno?
What's next...is Turk gonna get Arnold to drive a Cobra and give up his "Hummers"?
Take care,
Manny
