Yes, it will run on 93 octane pump gas. The cam will be custom ground and will have decent street manners. He's a regular engine builder for the Shelby dealer I am buying my car from and has been building 427s and 428s since 1968. He specializes in only those engines. He had the NOS rods and pistons (bought them years ago and saved them - he still has a number of NOS 427 and 428 blocks as well) and I just thought it would be neat to have something as authentic as possible. I guess the weight is a tradeoff though.
