I bought my 1st 427 in 1968. Back then there was a boat race called the Parker 9 hour enduro. Mostly 18-20' flatbottoms. The ford 427 was king of that race for many years. Boats are harder on engines than cars. Few people can lift as fast as the boat comes out of the water so many go bang before they finish. This race and the Cobra was the main reason I bougth my 1st 427 FE, It was in a stock 64 427/425 2 dr Custom post 4spd bench. I was 16.
