The 4-bolt
Dart block is prepped and assembled by Roush Performance
Engineering using Roush aluminum heads/Roush
proprietary parts and registered as '427R-170.' Jack Roush
says "In the history of hot rods and muscle cars, the
numbers 427 brings back plenty of 'magic memories.' Back then
the "side-oiler" was 'king.' Today, we have the option
to build to this memorable cubic inch displacement and still
have all the benefits of the "Windsor Engine." The
427R is our thoroughbred and has a single-plane intake manifold
and a "double-pumper" carburetor. Maximum horsepower,
maximum fun."
