I second the Roush!

Mine has 12,000 miles. Pulls like a freight train and can be as docile as a 302, unless you push down on the gas pedal. And heat is not a concern.

Plus, to the masses, when you raise the hood, its an engine most everyone has heard of.

They only know its a Roush if you use the valve covers, those are some expensive valve covers.

Thanks Jim! I've seen online and heard so many good things about the Roush 427SRTW from SPF owners. I love the SPF product and hopefully sometime this year I'll finally be able to take my test at Olthoff Racing here in NC. When I get my MKIII I plan to drive it all the way to CA and then drive up and down PCH like I used to in the 90's. Man, I really miss those West Coast drives. Thanks again for your input...

Heard of the number, yes, but it will never be a big block. When somebody asks what engine, I bet you say 427, not 427 small block.
