Default 427 is alive

My 427w stroker motor fired off for the first time yesterday... sounds mean... it seems like its going to be able to run off the stock cobra computer in it just fine atleast for a while... after we get the electric fan in it and get some leaks sealed up the car should be on the road for break in... ill let ya guys know how it runs it seemed extremely responsive just barely pushing the throttle so it should be interesting to see what it will do on the streets
