Don't feel bad, but anybody can make hp at big rpm's. Besides, why is the first question that most people ask is "You got a 427 in that?" The guy asked for an opinion, and I gave him mine.

You would probably feel even better if you were driving it instead of waiting for it too  Worth the wait though. |

I still have my Classic Roadster S/C, so I am not going through withdrawl, yet. Still plenty of fun to be had! Besides, I am thinking of adding the cosmetics to make my SB look like a 427! You gotta admit, most of the people that ask, can not tell the difference!

I've driven BDR's with just about all of the engines mentioned and I still like my 347. It doesn't have the torque of the Winsors but I just love to wind it to hell. With the top end port matched, heads ported, and the old sidepipes, it's crisp and instantainious.
If I had to do it again, I'd go big. But only because it will be different.

My answer was "1948". He nodded and drove off. Maybe next time someone asks if its a 427, I'll tell them its been stroked and bored to 740 in3.
