That's ok. I've gotten to the point where if I'm at a show, or something, and someone who clearly has no idea what they're looking at asks me "Is that a 427?" I just say "Yes." It's easier than explaining that's "it's a 428 bored and stroked to a 447, but looks just like one of the 427s, but not the 427 that was originally in the Cobras, but you could only tell from looking at the underside of the driver's side of the block, but you can't get under the car to see that because it only has five inches of clearance........"
