I agree with you olddog. Why put a Windsor stroker into a 427 replica when you can still source a genuine FE-family engine?
In a replica, what is the sense of going out past 427? How much power do you want / need ....and why, in a 2500lb car?

edit: obviously I'm in a minority

Brent: nice engine, keep them coming!

Cheers!
