Muscle Car Enthusiast magazine dynoed a bone stock 1964 low riser last month to 448 hp and 505 lbs of torque,with the stock cast hipo manifolds.
Hot Rod Mag said the 427 was the highest hp to engine weight engine ever produced,and every one knows that stock stuff to stock stuff,cubic inch per cubic inch, an old fe will make more power than anything,Ralph Moody said the 427 was as reliable as a small block chevy when properly tuned and assembled,SO,when now we can get a block that is capable of 500 or more cubic inches,i dont see why 700 HP on pump gas is so hard to conceive,unless of course your talking to one of many who have no real fe experience and still think a 427 is a punched out 390.
I dont know KC,and the numbers are monsturous,but I see his name in the winning end of the drag race world often,so until I decide to give him some of my hard earned money,or until someone whom has done so speaks up to the negative,I think he deserves the benefit of doubt. Tk
