I wasn't aware Ford made a 427. I know they made a 428 and a 429 hemi. I always thought a 427 was a Chevy.

"I wasn't aware Ford made a 427."

Ford made 427 side-oilers for NASCAR racing in the late sixties. I think the only street car to use these engines was the 427 Shelby Cobra. Actually, most Shebly's ended up with 428's because the GT40 and NASCAR racing programs were using up all the 427's that Ford could build.
