Default just an interesting discussion...

if you were putting a 427 into a 67 mustang and space wasnt an issue so you could install a SOHC, would there be any real point other than bragging rights? especially if the engine was supercharged.. i mean a blown tunnel port or high riser could probably make 1000+hp so would it be worth the extra trouble to chase down the SOHC heads or motor? plus has anyone ever driven/seen/or thought about mechanical fuel injection on a street car? if seen tricks to make it practical to crank so priming it isnt a big deal, but what about general driveability. i was under the impression it works like a light switch, either on or off. full blast or idle. ive heard of part throttle fuel metering assemblies, but is MFI doable on a street machine? just wanted to see what kinds of ideas and conversation this would generate

(my personal car-fantasy has always been a blown stroked and injected 427 SOHC in a 67 mustang. not a real fancy shiny car, but something that looks like it once ruled Woodward Avenue in detroit back in the day)
