The Engine - 427W

Not actual Engine.. but a 427 stroker pictured

There have been many plans with the engine since June 02' when I bought this thing. Originally the 375$ beater was going to be just that with some repairs, of course for a beater this mildly underpowered 5.0 still would not be bad for running around in.. great on gas for a V8 good mid - high torque range.. but it was not enough, this car would be good for anywhere in the 16 second quarter mile range.. an average time by modern cars but not bad for a underpowered car thats considered "large" so I opted for a "H.O" conversion, Just changing the heads, cam and intake, would be enough to boost me to police interceptor specs, and usually any Fox Mustang guy is more than happy to part with his stock engine parts.. going to aftermarket.. So then I figured why shouldn't I get aftermarket ? so the plans changed again.. I then looked into Trickflow heads, cam, and intake, bigger injectors.. M.A.F.. mustang computer.. Should have been enough to put me in the 300 plus horsepower range.. not too shabby... So the longer this project drew on with me doing the body work the plan's yet grew again.. hoping these are final ( but they only get better ) I know have decided to pull the engine, then for a while i wanted a stroked 302 - 331... but now Ive decided to go with the king kong of small blocks the 427 cubic inch stroker out of a 351 windsor..
