Yeah, that's a safe bet. And it would definitely go in a straight line pretty well.

but i think you can get a 460 in with less work cause remember the modular engines are much larger then pushrods

Dang. Keep in mind that those modular engines are a bit large, considering their displacement. I heard it said somewhere that the outer dimensions of the 4.6 are larger than some big blocks (not that I've verified that myself, mind you).

Can't say I'm too big a fan of the modulars. Torque doesn't hit right above idle like with the old-fashioned pushrods.

I had a T-bird before. I remember the modular-motor guys were always talking about how they had cracked intakes and crap. Before any of 'em hit 100,000 miles, they usually leaked oil through the valves and burned 1 qt. between oil changes.
I'd rather have my 3.8. Easier to insure, lighter, torque hits really early, and they're cheap to replace. Plus, I had 150,000 mi. on my T-bird and it ran smooth.
Once I actually have the whole loan on my car paid off, I might just keep what I've got and put forced induction on it..

Rather embarrassingly, they actually had to go with a cast-iron block to make a supercharged Cobra that was reliable. (Of course, they did use a Roots-style blower..) If I recall correctly.

my old 302 took 150,000 miles of pure hell, and the only thing that ever broke was the water pump. and this was with a rear main seal that leaked about a qt a week, 8000 mile oil changes, taking it to the redline in the rain, and almost everything on it was stock. now right before i pulled it, it was smoking like hell and wouldn't go faster then 80 at 3 grand in overdrive but the point is it was still running

#30, yes most factory superchargers are roots type and they went to the cast iron block so it could take more boost

The 302s were pretty much bulletproof, weren't they? And the aftermarket. Oh, the aftermarket...

#32, Yeah, but the Cobra's only pushing ~8 PSI. Sort of sad that they couldn't accomplish that on a standard 4.6 block. (Especially considering that it's about the same level of boost that they inflicted on the T-bird SC, which was more or less an over-built 3.8...)
Edit: And yes, I realize that the Cobra is making around 180 more HP.. but oddly, only around 75 more lb-ft.

#35, well you can push the boost up past that with the lightnings pulley, so i think thats why they did it since they knew damn well most ppl would leave it at 8psi

Cool. Still would've been cool if they'd gotten those torque numbers in a naturally-aspirated motor. Of course a Roots-type blower does make up for the criticism that the DOHC didn't torque hard enough early enough.

yeah the great thing about a blower is that instant kick of power can make up for a lack of torque

#11, To answer my own nearly 18 year old question: The 427 was produced in both "top oiler" (like all other FEs) and "side oiler" configurations. The latter had a separate oil passage in the side of the block to lube the crank before the pistons, allowing for more reliable high-rpm operation.
Random trivia: The Ford 427 was actually 426 cubic inches. They "added" a cubic inch in official nomenclature to gain a symbolic victory over the Chrysler 426 Wedge.
