Not Ranked
hey dick
while my lone star, outfitted as a fia, is a 427 body i just liked the looks of the fia's and thats why i designed mine in fia colors. the first car i looked at was a unique fia painted in the viking blue with red nose stripe. i knew then that whatever kit i purchased that it would be painted those colors. at the time i didn't really know that there was a difference in the 289's and 427's. of all the company's that i looked at, lone star worked best for me. apparently early on there were several 289's placed in 427 bodies. also, growing up with ford mustangs and 289's i had an extra engine laying around and wanted to use it in my cobra. being old fashioned and conservative i went with the fia 289 racing look with very few frills. and if you forgot the 50 is for my 50th birthday gift to myself. i kind of like the look of the 427 body anyway. thats my story.
