I have the 402R and do like the engine a lot. I commented on this in the previous thread so it does not need to be rehashed here (I did have one error in my earkier posting however). I will add, as Bill says above, it does not like lugging around at low rpm's very much. When traveling in stop n go traffic I have to keep it in a low gear (it can do some serious trailer hitch jerking otherwise). ~2000 rpm's seem to be the magic number to stay at or above. I am sure the 427R has the same characteristic.

I do like the 402 and have no plans to replace it. Kinda like the 3 bears, to me this engine is just right for my SPF. Anyway, whatever floats your boat...I think all of the Roush engines are high quality, reliable engines. You can't go wrong.
