The Roush 427R is built with a 9.5" Dart Sportsman block. Many engine
builders feel the Dart block is the best solution for Windsors in that size
range. They can be built on garden variety 351W blocks for considerably
less money but result isn't quite as good as you usually end up with something
a little undersquare and a marginal rod length/stroke ratio. The Dart block
is worth the extra money for one of these engines.
