Roush 427R - Any regrets?

[raclaims]

I really like my 427SR but like others had to have the carb replaced and dialed in...

For a lot of you, this thread is probably rehashing stuff you are completely tired of talking about. For me, this stuff is GOLD! Your insights and comments very, very useful as I asses options. Can't thank you all enough for jumping in.

I will likely go check out the 427R I'm thinking about. At the right price, I'll jump. At the same time, there are a lot of other good options out there. But the search is not something I particularly enjoy - driving is. Michigan summers are short, gotta get one...

As for working on high performance carburetor motors....does my 1964 Land Rover Series count? I'm constantly tweaking that thing. Had to drive around town to find a timing light. Kid's behind the counter looking at me all strange. Motor was a ground up high performance rebuild from a custom shop in Valencia CA. Makes a whoopin' 125hp or so. Almost double stock. As for bucking, and other drive ability challenges - it has them all, just at a mush slower pace. ;-)
