    427 with 8 stack in the Lincoln

    So guys, heres an idea of what i want to do far far far down the line. Swap in a Ford Racing 427 with an 8 stack carb system on it (of course the 5 speed will come 1st...and will have to be built up ALOT to handle the kind of horsepower im gonna be throwing at it). heres the question i have though, the new 427's are based on the 351, so in order to get the 8 stack on there, would i have to order the 351 style 8 stack or the 427 style.

    I would assume (w/o looking up specs) that you would need the 351 set up as the extra displacement comes from boring/stroking a 351 block...

          A "real" Ford 427 is a completely different engine than a 351. Stuff for that engine won't fit any displacement engine that is 351w based. You'd have about the same chance of fitting 427 Chevy parts on it.

          8 carbs might look impressive, but if you aren't a super guru with tuning it, it'll probably never run right. I've run dual 1bbl carbs on a 4cyl before and that was enough of a pain in the ass.

              A 4 Weber Carb induction system for your 351W based engine will run you near $5K by the time you are done and you will still have a NA engine that you can not close the hood on. Are you seriously planning a $15K engine build?

                      My advice if you are even remotely serious about this is to first to the conversion with a 302 using the Anderson Ford Motorsports header and intermediate pipe. The pipe is adjustable so that it will work with a 302 OR a 351W based ending and the headers will flow enough for your 427. You are going to have $20-$25K into this build by the time you are done, so start with the "cheap" stuff first and keep it a driver, instead of having to write the whole check at the same time. For $15K, you can definitely do better than a Ford crate motor and the Webers.

                        thanks for the tip! yeah, im definitly serious, just wanted to get some opinions on what i should to 1st. though i am definitly going with the webers (i like the style and individual tunability). i wanna do something big with a ton of horsepower (of course) though the 427 is not a firm choice. there are obviously other options i can look into but its just a basic idea of what i want to do,.

                          So, is it done yet?

                          I spoke to an old Mustang guy who had trouble with 427s blowing, he ended up using a 390. Just FYI. I think a 427 would be awesome.

                            That is not a useful FYI. If he was blowing up 427s it was his fault (or his engine builder's) and not the engine's. This thread is about stroked Windsors and not FE engine builds...

                              If you want tune-ability and want to make a ton of power, why not go with the look but go Fuel Injection?
