Do you want an FE 427 or a Windsor 427?
Hasta be a "Windsor" since I want a MKI. (You're undoubtedly aware that an FE won't work in a MKI...'too tall for the headers to clear the rear deck for one thing.)
And in reality, the engine will only be
'patterned' after a Windsor since I doubt there'll be a single FORD part in it! (Dart Alum block, AFR alum heads, blah, blah, blah.)
Anyway, all that assumes I don't opt for a Gen 5 instead. The info on the Gen 5 is supposed to be available in August some time according to what I've been told. Whenever that actually happens, I'll probably then assume GTJoey's "The Thinker" pose for another month weighing the pros and cons of each before finally going off the deep end one way or the other. (That extra month(?) won't matter at all since the soonest I could receive
either car would be next spring or summer anyway.)
