assuming that "Shotgun" 427 would run right, they are very fast. But, they were also one of the most unreliable volatile engines Ford ever made, especially when they were port injected like that one is. One change in the barometer and it usually meant the injection would need to be rejeted to run at peak. Between that and the flex of the 6' long timing chain under the front cover, they were a handfull. Dyno Don Nicholson used to run those motors in his Comet and though he set alot of records, he never really had any consistency. Don Prudohme ran them for one year and went back to Hemis. They are/were a great piece of Ford Nostalgia and that is a very cool boat/engine package.

Even tho I never owned 1, as a kid employed by a Chry-Ply Mopar dealer in the early 70s I was lucky to have the pleasure of driving several hemi powered as well as most other factory rods of the era. Hemi Cuda!! nuff said. Those moda s just had a rev-rate that made em what they were. 425hp was for insurance.. [actuall hp may vari]

A friend of mine bought a 1971 Hemi Cuda in 1973, when he was a senoir in high school for $3,500.00. His dad fought with him tooth and nail and thankfully won, when he wanted to do a phsycho=billy 70's paint scheme.

As of this date, it has the original 1971 Orange Peel Mopar paint and the wide Hemi decal on the tail. So perfect was his car that Monogram models photographed it for their 1/24th scale model, and as a thank you, it has his Illinois Hemi 1 plates on the model. He has about 30,000 miles on the clock.

It makes me sick when I'm at Cruis'in Grand and the Hemi club shows up and several guys have tubbed the rear ends of their cars to fit 22" wide tires....
