Re: 67-68 gt 500's why wasn't the 427 used?

ok. with that it's more clear as to why they didn't offer the 427 now. i didn't realize the 427 was such a pain to produce and so short in supply. the retrofit wouldn't have been a problem as the 427 would have bolted up to the same transmission as the 390, and possibly different exhaust manifolds, or cast iron headers?? anyhow are the few 427 gt 500's made out there anywhere, and documented?? that would deffinetely be a neat piece of shelby history.
