Dang Sparks, did he trip a trigger there? FWIW; Although he only has 2 posts showing here I wouldn't hold that against him when he's posting here in the FE section. He is well known on the FE forum board and if it matters on Ebay as well. I don't know the guy personally but in his posts on other sites he seems like a knowledgeable straight shooter. You don't have to take my word for it either, if you are looking for FE info, head over there and check it out. http://www.network54.com/Index/10214

Sparky that was not intended to be a union slam. The fall of 1967 was a time of incredible hatred and revolt by workers at Ford that had been building for several years, resulting in the strike which disrupted the production of all engines for a few months, and is the likely reason the 427 side oiler was never used in production Mustangs or Shelbys that model year.

I think if you would research the history of 427 production (as I have) you would see that there is no anti - union bias in what I have said, only a careful statement of fact.
