you probably know that the 427r is a 351w stroker . 427r is a great engine with roush standing behind any problems during their 2 yr warranty as so many have posted .

so while you could say " 427" , to the purists it is not the same. then again, you have modern day technology, roush warranty - it is a trade off. the 427 r engines i have seen are about $14k as a crate, and a 427fe would run you that and perhaps more depending on the builder. 428's seem to get built for less . prices vary as does the quality of what ya get .

similarly there are other engine builders that can do a 427 stroker for less than the roush would cost . pick your poison as the desire towards originality takes over as well as the thickness of your wallet. bill
