First of all, people here are comparing as Mr. Misfit put it "a 427 engine was a racing engine from the ground up" to a 460 engine out of a pickup. A 500+ c.i. "stroker" engine has ALL high performance racing parts on it. I have yet to see Edelbrock aluminum heads on a Ford truck yet. I never said get a 460c.i. out of a lincoln and put aluminum heads on it and call it a race engine. Also, comparing a 460 c.i. engine in a passenger vehicle (for reliability) is a joke. It is NOT the same racing engine discussed in this thread. People, stop comparing a $4,000.00 (or less) factory 460 c.i. Ford engine to a $28,000.00 427 S.O. engine.
Mr. Excalibur:
I guess no 427 S.O. engine has ever thrown a rod? I am sure the engine didn't do it due to "human error" and not a defect of the 460 engine.
