mln385: Your argument sounds an awful lot like the "real" vs. "original" CSX4xxx argument that plagues CC from time to time. You know what the guy was asking: Is that a real 427 SO FE? Sure, you have 427 ci, but it isn't an side-oiler (or an FE, for that matter). Neither "original" nor "real", but something different. Not bad; just somethind other than what the person was asking about. You're answering a different question than what the person intented to articulate. Yep, kind of like the CSX4xxx arguments of "real" vs. "original" vs. "replica".

That being said, I'm considering a stroked 351W (a.k.a. a "427") for a later engine for my 289FIA. I like the engine, but I recognize it isn't "original" and strays from Cobra purism.

Okay, now let the "real" vs. "original" firefight begin...
