How could you not like any 427 dual quad 4-speed. But $70 grand I think he is asking a bit much for a Ford.

I'm a VW man and a bowtie man, It's a nice stang thats for sure but Like AB said 70,000 is a bit steep.

You couldn't build an aluminum 427 Camaro any cheaper.

I think you guys are behind on pricing. That's about right.

That must be an aftermarket motor. An original 427 side oiler would pretty much command the 70K by itself without a car attached. i ain't no Ford expert, but i know where the big money is, and is not(anywhere in my vicinity).

Edit:while i'm rather fond of Cragar S/S's, i think at the 70k level i'm gonna have to see the correct rally rims with proper trim and a decent matching paint scheme on them.

I used to build 427 Cobra kit cars. Always used a side oiler in them stroked with a 428 crank. They were getting hard to find then and I had to source the various parts vs a "crate" motor. Tunnel ram manifold is useless for the street-medium riser was the way to go. 2-4's were a bit better than a single quad but for all practical purposes were more for bling than performance. Most of the race cars used a single. I like bling so I used the duals.

That ain't a tunnel ram, you are very confused about this car. A tunnel port is something VERY different. Nascar motor.

Here is a Tunnel port Shelby launching...

A car like this is not built for practicality BTW.


Most likely it's Dove stuff but probably a 50k motor in that car.

That ain't a tunnel ram,

I the classic sense i agree, but technically it might qualify if it's a fully open plenum design.

What "we" consider a tunnel ram doesn't fit under a hood.

I'd absolutely wager that low end throttle response and streetability positvely suck with that combination. WOT up on the cam might be a totally different experience however.

Seems to me that Tunnel Port describes the heads, not the intake manifold. Pictures are too blurry to see what the manifold looks like.

Still a cool car.
