Everyone at work had new emp. numbers assigned to them recently. Get this... my Brother-In-Law ( a Ford dude ) got #351 and me, a Chevy guy, got #427. Although Ford made a 427ci as well didn't they? Anyways, just thought it was kinda cool that the Broh-In-Law got 351 and I got 427. [Cool]

Ford made a 427 side oiler for sprint car tracks and another 427 for NASCAR tracks. It was purely a racing engine, but they sold a few to the public. I remember our next door neighbor had a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500, 427, 4-speed convertible. It was awsome ... a BIG car that could really scoot.

In the end, Ford made a 428-7, a 428, and a 429. I never liked tha 429, but the 427 and 428 were good engines along with the 351 Cleveland.

I also got to drive a Chevy Impala SS 427 4-speed once ... another great ride, and owned a 1967 Plymouth GTX, 426 Hemmi, 4-speed. It was sweet. Wish I still had it. The GTX was a Road Runner with more insulation and better interior finish ... a bit more luxury ... with a bit more weight. Same frame and sheet metal. AT the time, the 440 would beat the 426 to 60 mph or so, the cars were even at 90 mph or so ... but after 90, the 426 ran away from the 440 motor.
