Ahhhh a small block Ford V8 sounds like heaven. Nothing sounds better than a 427 Side Oiler Ford, but a small block Ford sounds pretty sweet. (If you haven't heard a 427 Ford SO, you've never heard an engine)

For you SVT, a little 427 Ford history... In fact, the 427 block is a completely different animal because it sports huge 4.23-inch bores, unlike any of its FE siblings, using the 390 and 406's 3.78-inch stroke. This factor makes the 427 a deep-breathing, big-bore, short-stroke, high-rpm screamer. What may surprise you is the 427 block cannot be bored oversize (even a little) because these huge bores push the design limits of the FE block. When it's time for a bore resizing on a 427 block, you must sleeve it. There are no exceptions.

We often hear about 427 "Side Oilers" in Ford performance circles, but the lion's share of 427s were top-oilers, meaning the oil galleries ran down the center of the block, parallel to the crank and cam. The Side Oiler was a completely redesigned 427 cross-bolted block introduced in 1965, sporting a generous oil gallery down the left-hand side of the block to keep the main bearings amply supplied with oil at high revs. These blocks are easy to identify.

This thread already is a winner!!!

It is really different with the coupe mid pipe! At idle my sedan has a louder tone than the coupe... It must be louder at 7k rpms too!
