I just bought a 427 sideoiler with high riser heads and a dual 4 intake. Along with the deal was 2 sets of medium riser heads and a mechanical fuel injection set up for high riser heads. I will be selling the extra heads and injection. I was building a 383W (yes 383 ford) for my 67 Mustang coupe witch I also will be selling. My question is does anyone here have a 427 in their 67/68 Mustang? I would like to install a overdrive auto but I don't think there are any options available. I am new to the FE world so any help would be appreciated.

Well I have an FE in mine. I would plan on cutting the shock towers back to put that motor in it. Makes working on it alot easier.
Also you might check out this site. Alot of good info on FE's there.

I have done a few big block installs in ford cars

There is a company called Lentech that machines the bell off an AOD and has there own FE spicific bell. Or you can go with Peformance Automatic as they have a FE bell that lets you use a C4 or with an adapter ring use GM trans. Also ATI now has a FE bell that lets you use GM trans behind FE ford motors.
On a side note you may want to keep the medium riser heads and sell the high risers. High riser heads are a little taller than other ford haeds and with pent roof style valve covers you may run into master cylinder clearence issues. Scott

Roush is working on a package that puts a 4R100 behind a 511 FE, but Im almost positive its not out yet. Not to mention it will require a stand alone computer. Sorry Im not more help.

you might also want to hold on to that mechanical injection intake also since it can easily be converted to EFI should you ever decide to go that route.
