You Will Want To Drive This Mod Motor Four Door

Tell me you would not drive this four door.
The Exterior - An All-American Design
The Ford 427 concept proportions are long, low slung, and wide. The car's overall profile is classically clean, smooth, and unfettered by extraneous detail.
Menacingly blunt in its all-black silhouette with glints of chrome and billet aluminum, the 427 concept is dark and mysterious, day or night. Striking an almost sinister pose wherever it goes, the car seems like it was designed for film noir.
"It's the kind of car that, when you drive it, makes you look like you're doing something wrong," Mays said.
Detroit Powered
The modern version of the Ford 427 concept's powerplant started off as a cloak and dagger "skunk works" project commissioned by Theodore, who wanted to know if it was feasible to craft an all-new, lightweight 427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) engine out of Ford's highly flexible modular V-8 engine family. Ford's Powertrain Research & Development answered the call and began working under the radar screen on a limited budget. The result shocked everyone.
The 427 engine produces a tremendous 590 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 509 foot-pounds of torque at 5500 rpm. Remarkably, the engine is almost 70 pounds lighter than the 5.4-liter 32-valve Cobra R engine from the Ford Mustang. The 427 achieves this astonishing power-to-weight ratio through the following attributes:
• Siamese bore aluminum V-10 engine block based on Ford's modular V-8 DOHC engines
• Ford-pioneered metal spray process to maximize the bore at 95mm
• Newly designed lightweight forged aluminum pistons with a very short compression height
• Aluminum cylinder head derived from the SVT Cobra R Mustang
• New billet H-beam connecting rods and billet steel common pin crankshaft for increased strength without the need for a balance shaft
• Lightweight hollow stem valves

:o Holy shit! Now that's a motor. A mod motor with torque. I wonder once I donated one of my kidneys and left testicle to afford to buy the motor, that if it'll shoehorn into my engine bay.
