Hi Turk,

to someone with an "R" code Galaxy or Fairlane, this particular 427 would be desireable if they were trying to restore one of these cars. I have a friend that's into R-code Galaxy's and they have a definite following.

IMHO, it would be a waste to put this particular motor in a replica Cobra if you ask me. I'd be afraid to use it too much. Plus, all this nice new FE stuff is coming out, and more is coming. I predict now that someone like Dart or Edelbrock will "actually" come out with an affordable, proven, aftermarket FE 427 block in the next 2-5 years. As soon as this happens, the only people that will be paying high prices for this R-code stuff are these restoration people.

See Ya.
