Racers and project car builders have two fresh engine options to choose from in the Ford Racing parts catalog. Fans of the classic 302 cubic inch V8 and a lighter budget can opt for the 340 horsepower X302 crate engine. At $3,495, the X302 offers the classic cast iron block and aluminum cylinder heads mated with forged aluminum pistons and die cast aluminum valve covers.

Those in need of a bit more oomph can opt for the new 427 FE, based on the Boss 351 block with four-bolt main bearings carrying the forged steel crankshaft and rods. The block is topped with Ford Racing aluminum cylinder heads with 10.5:1 compression ratio, netting 535 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque and commanding $8,800. Both engines get the standard Ford Racing one year warranty.

PLEASE EXPLAIN!:thanks:

[69DirtyRat]

Of course, I luv the 427! it should be mandetory in all Muzzies

[Bumblebee]

I agree with 69DirtyRat!  BTW, whilst they are probably a reasonable base platform, the Roush range of 427 crates (6 stroked 351 windsor variants from memory, they also have an FE big block 427 based family I think) go from 580-780 HP, but you definitely will feel it in the hip pocket!

I reckon for an engine to go in a 'driver' that 302 is a pretty good deal.  $3500 for a new engine with aluminium heads and a factory warranty is hard to beat.

......Looks like I better start saving!
I think this is perfect for my application and budget!

By the time you get it here it'll be substantially more expensive.
