[Shotimes] OT - GM 60's BB lust

[Kerby Haltom]

The 428 was specifically made to go into big  sedans.  Lots of low end 
torque, and not a high reving engine.  The 427 was much more high strung, 
and apparently, more expensive to produce.  The one to find is the SOHC 
427.  7000RPM red line on that puppy!
