Looks like a nice car, is it still on the market though?

[D111]

yes it's still available.
I'm looking for a loopy sounding low idol, not sure if this motor is capable of that. will I need a 427 to get that sound?

Any engine can do that with the right cam. Here is a good cam for that:

http://www.compcams.com/Thumpr/index.html Click the "Hear It" video on the right. Turn up the volume!! :-)

A good throaty sidepipe design adds to the deepness of the tone.



If the low lopy idle is a key desire, never get the new ford COYOTE engine. I idles like a Toyota Camry !!! AHAHAHAH

thank you for the response.

But does anyone know if the rouch342 engine has that type of cam?

Probably somewhat close.

That Roush 342 will have a pretty good cam in it to get the lift and duration for that size of stroke. It should sound pretty good.

Like CobraEd said, you can get the "thumper cam" from Comp Cams. I have installed these and they sound great.

If all you looking for is the sound of a lumpy idle try this.

this is what a 427 Roush #611 sounds like at a stoplight with lots of traffic around.....shot with an iphone.
