Jerry,

Please excuse me.
I really dont understand your post to well. I think what I am understanding from your post is that I am asking for my cake and eat it too.

That is not the case.

I am simply stating that I would like to have a car with Weber carbs that performs well and is NOT a daily driver.

I do not mind the agressive cam profile at idle , but aparently because the demand of vacuum for the Webers it will not idle agressively. Also, I do not want to say a street driver because it will not be driven everyday.

I have noticed when speaking to manufactors if you use the term street they will give you a tamed cam profile.

I have read post on here about individuals that are asking for a comfortable ride in a Cobra. Well I think that would be having your cake and eating it too

People have asked about fuel economy which I have asked ONLY to have an idea but could really careless.

Plain and simple when I drive my car I expect it to sound & drive like a BB with webers.

Some people might feel that a 427 is not that much of a big block but I am sorry but it is still classified as a BB.

If I were to bore and stroke the same block to achieve "BB" numbers, as one who say, would this make it more of a BB?
