Imagine a vaginal speculum only stronger; but...........what do you know or why do you know what a rib spreader is? Do you use it for barbecue?

Ford makes one of those 7 litres now, that you buy on a crate, just like in 1966. External dimensions are smaller on todays engine, but HP is not so different. Was at a friends shop yesterday, looking at his old FE stuff. Couple sets of high riser heads, couple sets of tunnel ports, 4-5 427 blocks, 1966 fairlane S code with a 427, C6 package waiting to be brought back to life. Old bracket car from the days when a 427 was just bigger than a 390 and not too hard to come by. Todays stuff is really great, but its very tempting to get a set of those tunnel ports. Beautiful.
Now back to the vaginal speculum.

Ah, a 427. I wonder if it will fit in a Cobra? Will it have a lopey cam and vibrate your innards? And, all will want to know, will it leak oil like the originals? [Old joke: Q: How do you know a sideoiler is low on oil? A: It stops leaking.]

Old FE s and Harleys are the same. Convinced they are the alpha, and marking their spot to prove it.

"push" what ??? what's a pushrod??? lol
if FCA can push the "HEMI" nomenclature on their power trains today than Ford can certainly push the "7.0" liter for marketing.
originally I believe Ford was going to expand on the current 6.2 truck engine to possibly 7.0 liters because all the early engines 2010-2012
had "The BOSS is Back" casted in the valley on all the blocks. Roush had built some bored and stroked 7.0 L engines out of 6.2 engines
early in the program for racing. Ford needs to up the power and displacement on the 6.2.
My F350 is a stone dog with the 6.2
