Cool article, thanks for posting!

You're welcome. I was astounded that the shock towers would accommodate such an engine. I thought they had to be cut at the factory when a customer ordered the 428. Seemingly not. One size fit all. Also surprising that a G.T. 500 owner gave up this engine to put a K code 289 in his 500. Times were different then.

Yes, the FE engine except for the SOHC is a simple drop in. For a long time I thought of putting a 427 in my 1969 BOSS 302.

You must be thinking of the BOSS 429.  They had to have their Shock Towers cut back into the Inner Fenders to fit the 429 Hemi style Engine.

I thought they did it for all of them. I was wrong. I learned something today.

You could and mothball the 302, terrorize small towns and bedroom communities with the 427. I like how the owner mentioned that no one had a clue it was a mighty 427 when he opened the hood (something I would have expected with today's crowd and not so much from the gearheads of yesteryear).
