Guess what I ran into today.

That bastard. That car should be out being driven daily with occassional burnouts and doughnuts in the parking lots. NO! The putz has to bore everyone to death with how stock it is and it not being driven the way it was meant to be. F#$&ing purist. Makes me wanna go find a Saleen SA-10, strip it down, minitub it, drop in the big Windsor it should have had to start with, and go rub it into Steve Slaeen's face and tell him it's just another Mustang.

And that is why I am not revealing where it is Helmut. :-) BTW, he just got it and drove his wife to dinner in it. But then again, with all the Stangs he has, it is hard to decide which one to run.

Now this'll really make your day. He has an 03 Cobra engine and tranny and is looking for a used V6 vert to transplant that combo into. :-) Betch that thing will be driven hard...

Just what exactly is a 427 hemi? Ironhorse, HSB#96, SENS BS

I have heard 427 fords called Side Oilers, Center Oilers, cammers, but never a Hemi. Me thinks the original poster dosn't know what he saw. Ironhorse, HSB#96, SENS BS

Actually, the Boss 429 looks like a "Hemi", and has been known to be called a 429 "Hemi" Ford by those who have no clue.................

From what I was told, it's a Dodge engine he transplanted into thet Stang.

No one is contesting the 427.... we're just wondering when it became a hemi.

Before the 427 Cobras were the 289 Cobras.... before that was the little known Sunbeam Tiger which first featured the 260 V8 and then the 289.....

In the Joe Weatherly Stock Car Museum in Darlington, SC, there is a 427 hi-rise 'semi-hemi' engine - developed to oppose the Dodge 426 Hemi - said engine never made it to the track due to NASCAR outlawing the Hemi, and the

427 would have been outlawed also under the new rules. The spark plugs go in thru the valve covers like a Hemi, so it's possible that he saw what he saw. Very few of these engines were actually produced (Bill S. probably has the production numbers).
