Ford 427 V8 options

[baronbennyt]

Hello all, I’m currently considering a number of fuel injected Ford 427 V8 options for a potential Superformance GT40 Mk2 build next year. The ones on my list, at this stage, are: Roush, Ford Racing and Prestige. Any PH’ers familiar with these engines and can make a recommendation? Cost isn’t so much the priority for me, rather performance, reliability and quality.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone, much appreciated.

To answer some questions/posts:

1. Yes, the engine options I'm looking at are 351 Windsor based.
2. For my application the engine will need to be fuel injected.
3. I will definitely check out Jon Kasse Racing, thank you.

Joking aside why a 427 whens its not really 427 ??? a small block aint a big block!

For most applications you cant beat a square motor.

I honestly don’t know. All the “427” recommendations I’ve received to date from well known suppliers like Roush are based on a small block. It has to be fuel injected and will require modification to comply with UK registration requirements. I don’t know if these are factors? Even the official Ford Racing “427” is based on a 351...
