That 427 FE definitely sounded different than a Mopar but I think it sounded kind of weak. It was a little smoother than other V8s when the guy in the video raised the revs for a couple seconds but it was a lot quieter and didn't have that same booming "cannon"-type sound that Mopars have. Hell, my mild 318 with the exhaust unhooked was nastier sounding than that thing (even though the 427 obviously had a cam).
My neighbor's 351C '70 Mach 1 sounds pretty beefy though, and I know that thing is pretty quick (geared too tall though).
#1, it had manifolds.........
#2, it was a video........
Was that a 427? I thought it had a 2bbl......... That would be illegal. I think it was a 352/360/390, I'll look again........
OH thier different alright...
you can lump them into 3 catagories:
5.0L HO, 351W(himpy), 351M(oronic), 351C(atostrophic), 400 for the 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 firing order
289, 302, 352, 390, 427, 428, 429, 460 for the 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 firing order
FE = &%$#ing Engine
Hehe, I'm gonna have, some, "Ford fun"......... See if I get this right........ Or close.......
"Y" Block... 292/312/315...... Bell housing "A" we will call it.
"FE" Block... 352/360/390/406/410/410E/411/427/427cammer/427SO/428
"FE" Block HD... 362?/392?Or was it a 1..... 427/4??*78?* (knew that one yesterday) 549
Bellhousing "B", the two bigger motors had a SAE#2
255/289/302/302BOSS/351W/3512bblC/4bblC/4004bbl (Bellhousing "C" also shared with the 300-6cyl) Then, same Block, 351M/400/400M (Bellhousing "D") Where am I at? Oh.......
371/429/429SCJ/460 (There are more industrails there, but in the words of Burt Reynolds, in stripteas, "ma Brain, ma brain just turns to sheeit:! They share the same bellhousing as the 351M/400/400M, but the 351-400M are actually small blocks, with big block bellhousing.........
And then there is the starters, converters, clutches, motor mount center/center/side/side distance/style...... Yeah, Fords....... They had a better Idea.......
"Ford, has a better idea" :sign7:
Wow, that was totally useless Mopar info.....
