Kill this poll, another poll with better criteria will be posted.
What categories of 427 makes the most sense?

I assume you count the 427 Dart as "other". How about the 427 Cleveland?

If you think about the list could get long, does this work for general brackets?

How about Ford Racing 427
I don't believe SAI actually builds motors, if that's wrong let me know.

That would be based on a 351w, so a 427 Windsor, no?

The dart block is still technically in the Windsor family, just as the aluminum ford racing 351 or iron ford racing boss 351 are.

Why have them as different categories? Just curious....

What's the aim of the poll?

That might help you determine what the split should be.

Can we start a poll to see how many people want this or any other poll?

Oh they must certainly do Shelby engines now owned by denbeste. I went to Gardena and got to watch a huge cnc machine take a casting and mill it to a 427. Wow what a process

Personally, any BB FE 427 be it Shelby, Pond or whatever, no need to break it down more than that.

A FE or a little motor trying to be a FE, very easy and simple.
