We changed things every week! If I wanted to run a different color or somebody saw a color that Ford had and wanted to run some, we just ran them.

horsepower although it had closer to 400 horsepower, heads are the date coded correct 427 low riser with special larger valves, rounded combustion chambers, these heads make this 428cid engine breath exceptionally well, this engine has been rebuilt by Keith Craft Racing, everything is stock except for roller cam and rockers, bringing the dyno numbers to nothing short of impressive, this effort was

helped with the credentials of this car, the VIN of the engine is found with small mirrors on the back of the heads, although these numbers are hard to read, we believe they are correct, this is most
