New shelby hemi crate motor

[supercarl1]

I was at Barrett Jackson's when they displayed the 427Hemi headed sbf engine. Very impressive looking engine.(Shelby aluminum block 351W stroked to 427ci and Hemi heads which are not by Ford or Shelby, another strike) I was considering purchasing one and even had my CSX car taken to Tom's to be 1 of the first to have this engine. However the first engine wasn't ready when they thought it would be and I woke up to the fact that I purchased a 4000 series CSX car which deserves a FE engine in my opinion. By the way the engine does look very short in person and the foot boxes will have to be modified for installtion. With the sheet metal intake(which was not correct and had 3 intake gaskets just to make up the difference of poor fabrication) it will not fit under the hood...however the TMW stack injection will. Now it's my understanding that they will be entering the engine in the engine masters competition. I think that this engine will have great potential in any car other than a CSX. Once agian guys just my opinion.
