Not Ranked
And yet another opinion:
I would choose a 427 SO set up as close to original spec as possible. (except using aluminum heads) If you are in the price is not an object catagory, have KC make an original spec SO for your car.
1) FE is a great looking plant
2) Original spec does have less power = heat, wear, and the car only weighs 2300lbs + anyway.
3) Every stop at a gas station will bring "Is that a real 427 under the hood" and the answer would be easy = Yes.
4) If you are going to race maybe use a Yates SB, lighter and more power.
5) A wise friend once told me, today's replicas are faster than original cars, stop better than original cars, and can be overpowered for street use. BTW: He owns an original car, yes it is enough for the street or track use.
