Ford Racing has joined the big crate small block engine game with an all new 427ci, 351W based on the new Boss 351W Block. With a hydraulic roller cam, it makes an impressive 535 hp and 545 lb ft of torque and 10.5 compression. Not bad, and for a street price likely in the $7500 range, this could make an easy 10-second Fox body street/strip ride.
