FE427 and C4 is a hot combo in a lightweight Ford.
By Dave Shoe - 11/19/2001 12:51:46 AM; IP 216.243.158.251
A properly built C4 tucks right behind an FE427 in a lightweight streetable dragster application. Granted the C6 is made for the torque of the FE, but the C4 has been developed to the point where a serious racer (it is more expensive to run a C4 than a C6, so you'd better be serious) can shave some valuable pounds and free up some horsepower when properly applied (your friends '36 sounds like a proper application). You can expect more frequent tranny rebuilds and repairs with a C4, but this is often of secondary concern when it comes to speed.

If your friend still needs some motivation, pick up the Boss Martian's latest CD release called "MOVE!". It'll seal the deal. I'm not kidding. They've got one fine song about a C4, a 427, and a '39 3-window Coupe - and it's technically accurate, as the 'Martians always are.
