   Pete,
     The "X" garage built "more than one" 447-448 ci engine.  One was used in a '67 Mustang coupe to beat Tasca's KR8 at thr Dearborn test track ( Oh not too much press on that one HUH? The 428 ( 4.130 bore) block  was not meant to be bored much bigger so the 427 block had to be used with the 428 (3.980 stroke) crank. The engine was too expensive for the "bean counters" and too dirty for the "sniffers" at the emissions lab. Both equaled doom.
   Is that the one you are referring to?
