So the engine is dead, makes weird noises and my mechanic is pretty sure it s more then a head gasket. Instead of spending time and money on the old tired engine, I m going the crate engine route. It s actually even cheaper compared to rebuilding because everything is so expensive here. ( especially labour). I choose the ZZ427 over a bigger one ZZ502 because I don t want to stress the car to much and because it will fit right in. And because it`s the legendary 427! Seriously 480 hp should be plenty enough right? I mean the car only weighs around 1300 kg ….

It was late at night, and I couldn t sleep, I opened the computer and browsed hemmings, ebay, auto scout, as I always did at night. When suddenly, there She was, I still remember the first picture I saw on ebay. the bidders were within a couple of 1000 dollars of the buy it now tag. I thought of all the cars that slipped away, and I didn t want this one to go, I knew if I didn`t go for it, in the morning she would have been gone.
