Most definitely .. the 427 was the king of what Ford put out in the day for the street .. the bad *** of our neighborhood had one in a 63' Galaxy 2x4 / 4-speed car ..probably two tons of car and that thing was a monster .. would like to have seen the Fairlanes on the street with that engine

The engine that could have.....and would have shut them ALL down was the SOHC 427 Ford. Had NASCAR not outlawed it, things would have been different in the muscle car wars. That engine was well over 600 HP out of the box.

I have respect for all of the heavy hitters of that era regardless of make. It was a special time that will never happen again.
