Is that based on an alloy Cleveland block?

408 is the max cubes for a Clevo.
427 is a big block.
You can buy blown bb V8s from the usa for $5000.

I effing love it!

Sterling, I imagine the idea behind it is to have supercar performance and handling, but still be super cool and not look like a c*ck in a Fezza or Lambo!

I thought it could have been an alloy Clevo block as there is a 7 liter kit available for the late model 5.4litre Boss engines

408 is biggest for a clevo, but that is a 351 windsor stroked to 427.
you can go up to 452 with a windsor if you want,... i mean if funds permit.
where the article goes wrong, is when they say it's based on an FE. this is a 427 FE,...

If that thing were mine, I'd have a 632 cubic inch big block Chev V8 in it.

There is no replacement for displacement.
