427 vs 428
By BB67FB - 01/28/2005 12:16:37 PM; IP 205.56.145.34
I am looking to build a FE engine for my mustang, and have been torn between a 427 and a 428 for quite some time. I know the 427 block is setup better with crossbolted mains, but is that the only thing that makes them better and going for three and four times as much as a 428 block? What kind of HP and torque differences will there be when it comes to building them? I guess the main question I am asking is, is there anything besides a better bottom end and a lot of nostalgia that makes the 427 a better choice over the 428? I am saving up cash right now to purchase one block or the other, and am unsure which way to go! Thanks for all your help!
