Description
The company that created the famous 427 FE engine announces a modern version of the legendary motor. Built on Ford Racing's new BOSS 351 block, the 427 crate engine is engineered and built for drive-ability and durability while still offering a throaty growl. Ideal for street rods, kit cars and all Ford projects requiring big power in a reliable small block package. The X - head 427 crate engine is engineered and built to deliver a strong and flat torque curve. This translates into tire-smoking acceleration for street rods, kit cars and muscle cars. It also delivers power and torque for light duty pickups and SUVs.
