Hey MasterAnubis,

Yes I did get all Chucks 289 drawings, if you are planning to build they are incredibly good, I don't think you could find better. I bet AC's drawings were not this good back in the day. He has also has added a nice bunch of notes and suggestions. He does own a real 427 so getting the measurements right would not be a problem. It may seem like a lot of money for them but honestly when you see the work that has gone into them you won't be disappointed.
It is not frustrating at all, just measure out the pieces, cut and weld....OK a bit more involved than that....... but honestly that's how the originals were made, by some Brits, in a big shed with arc welders and torches.....Go for it!

Perhaps he was always a shyster, but we just chose to over look it for awhile.

You build what you like and I will build what I like...it's all good

You know that guy,
The one in the neighborhood who likes to hang around the garage while you are working and talk about back when he had that killer 1977 Chevy Mustang
