I've been happy when this day arrived since I was a kid, just learning about cars. For me, it's an extra lucky day in that it's my birthday. I'm born on 427. How cool is that?

Now, if I only HAD a 427. I have a 350, a 409 and a LS3 but no 427.

And that's why I built a 427 small block and not a 434.

With all due respect to mouse motors - yes you are!

Remember - nothing can displace displacement.
