Welcome to CSR Legend
All appreciate it. The guys helped alot, all fixed, and back to boating. Get to have a place to go to if u have a Sea Ray problem. Thanks for the welcome
 
Wrong in the reference that a 427 isn't a chevy engine, of which it is. Ford made one also many many moons ago

Legend's 427 is a late model high tech small block

I thought that engine was a 428, but maybe I'm wrong about that too.

I thought 427s were Ford engines. Maybe I have that wrong though.

Ford had a 427, 428, and a 429 at one time or another.

There were several versions of the Ford 427.

The top Oiler, the side Oiler and also a SOHC version.

GM had 2 separate 427 big block engines from different “families”

The GM engines were actually bigger than 427 CI but the marketing people liked 427 better than 428 according to my recollection.
I'm old enough to remember the 427 Ford Galaxy and actually drove one on a couple of occasions when I worked at a Ford dealership. The Chevy Impala fast car of the day was a 409. We tend to romanticize these old cars as super fast. They were quick but only in a straight line. Flooring a Ford 427 caused the left front of the car to raise up higher than the right side and you immediately lost traction. By contrast, little 2.5 liter German cars are faster and the power is managed via great chassis designs. Some of these are even faster than today's fast modern Corvettes.

She. Look at what u started. This is for sea Ray's not cars
 
Both of GM’s “427’s” were less than 427 c.i.

The W series based off the 409 was actually 426 c.i. (Just like the Ford).

NASCAR only allowed 427 c.i. Maximum displacement, presumably both Chevy and Ford upsized the name to match that number.

The later more common GM 427 was a tad under 427 but correctly rounded up to 427.
(This was essentially a 396/402 block with a 454 crank.)
