Intersting bit of trivia found on the wonderful Internet:

"The upper limit in NASCAR was 7 litres which is 427 cubic inches. Interestingly enough, when you do the geometry Ford's 427 actually worked out to 425 cubic inches. But Ford would NEVER advertise that fact, which would put them below the Chevy (with a true 427 cubic inches) on the racing pages and advertising."

Based on that, I guess I should stop calling mine a 526 and start calling it a 527 so I can stand on the top row with the big boys!
