Sal,
Thanks for replying.
I have the December, 1993 issue of "Classic Auto Restorer." In an article on the S/C, it says," (the 427 S/C model) sported Halibrand magnesium knock-off wheels, a larger fuel tank, a modified dashboard, a differential oil cooler, and no glove box or bumpers." In the specs box, it says "Carburetor.....Holley four barrel" The article also says S/C stands for "Semi-Competition" or "Street-Competition" I am not sure which is correct.
I have a 1/24th scale Monogram model, which they called the 427 S/C, and it has a 1x4 and a cold air box. From my research, I thought this was the most accurate model.
My information also indicates the street versions came with under car exhaust, bumpers, no roll-over bar, and a 427 or 428 with 2x4.
I know some of the cars were customized by the factory, and I guess that might be part of the confusion.
Another point of debate is what FE really stands for. I have seen "Ford Edsel" " Ford Engine" and several more I can't remember.

Thanks again,

Mike

And yes, I know my car is an S/C with a 1x4, but I just like the 1x4 better .
