BTW since this detail about 427s is now being discuss and it is clear that there was a significant difference between 427 CO and the 427 SO in durability and performance and we know that when the "civilian" asks the original series CSX 3000 owner if that is a "real" 427 isn't the owner with a CO lying to the "civilian" when he say "yes" when we all know that they are asking if is the vaunted Side Oiler?

Hmmmm

3001 was not exactly a "prototype", it was a "chassis" sent to Detroit Styling and made into the "Bordinat Cobra".

Really? CSX3001 is precedent for a SB in a BB chassis? not in my book.

Yeah, why not. And if you're ever inclined to use skinny white wall tires on wire wheels or want to add hidden pop-up headlights to your BB replica, there is a precedent for that too.
