How to tell Fe 427 from 460 bb.

Scott,

Are you going to finally run a "real" motor in your car rather than that 800hp twin turbo little monster motor?

Thanks guys i just could not remember what the difference was i had been told in the past. No Kris it is a customers cobra i am working on and wanted to be sure when i need to get it going I get the right info .
It has to be run on lpg and i have been told that i would need a dual carb manifold for it as the standard gas carby will not flow enough to the bb.
see the thread on my new race car.
its very close and is pretty fast. for only 242 ci. and 1 hair dryer.

Yikes! How did I miss that thread? Looks nice and wicked. I dig the roll cage, it looks sorta like the car Holman Moody drug over to the Bahamas in '62, only yours is on steroids!



I hope everything is well with you and the family.

Don't know....I think Ford did. It was in a glaxie I bought years ago. You can see it's a damn pos. Those FE engines had one good aplication...put em in a boat! That way when you had a Forced Extraction it was easy to loop the chain through the block and throw them overboard. Made great anchors or brakewalls!

You see Ford kept putting wider and heavier rods in them until they wouldn't rev over 6000 rpm so they finally held up in dump trucks. Don't make me keep going......
