Where can i get a 427 ford V8?
They are fucking awesome. We had an original AC cobra at work today 
I drove it back to the back of the estate, and it sounded very sexy. I was going to abuse it, but it apparently cost the bloke £53,000 5 years ago 
no pics, as my phone is truly buggered 
so.... how much is a ford V8? or is a rover one a better option?

Chevy is £££ though. and the LS2 is far too modern
my boss has a capri which he is willing to sell, such a temptation to build a silly car for about £36

^^ The above statement is 100% true. I once saw a GT-40 replica at a BP station and the driver said it was Rover V8 powered

LS2 too modern i dont think so
anyhoow, got the new Motor mag, had a HSV Clubsport Dealer Team Spec model, only had a huge S/C kit, pumping out 650bhp and 550lb/ft  
0-60 is about 4 seconds, and cracks the 400m in 10.5 secs
