Dart Or Stock?

That is incorrect. A ford V8 sounds like a ford V8 for a reason. It's the reason that you can hear a 5.0 or 4.6 mustang w/ a noisy assed exhaust system from several blocks away, and know that it's a noisy assed Mustang, instead of a noisy assed Camaro.
It has everything to do with the firing order, and how the header tubes are paired on the exhaust.
lmao .....yep
might still go my original route but just depends. I want the car to be totally streetable still and I will be running AC and all. Non drag/race car, but a nice street weekend setup. So who knows
You are right mike, but I was not speaking about be'n noisy, more about different sounds from parts like long tubes and a straight pipe to a muffler verses shorties + cats + mufflers + tail pipes
And yes we can tell a stang v8 with loud exhaust vs a camaro with loud exhaust but most can't, they just think it's loud.
I can also tell the difference between my shovel head with drag pipes and an evo with drag pipes

cool.
do you care to share your opinion on my # 20 post if you have one? I'm searching youtube vids now of 427's just to get a hint of an idea.
this SN95 here is dayummmmmmmmmmmmmm:

I wonder how much more HP and Tq will you gain going from a 408 to a 427 with the same components. I know I originally said a 400W for me but I'm comparing a 408 to 427 because I know how much HP my boy is making with his 408 and it's 511 hp.
I haven't looked at any other engine vids because one of my other questions was after a 427, what's the other cubes that's common going upwards?
If your asking me for my opinion on your list of parts and your intended use for your ride, well the parts list is out of my league, I driven enought vehicles to know the difference between a comfortably fast car and a race car driven on the street so my opinion here will not count.
But thanks for asking.

I'm n
Lately though, I now prefer this order for the best sound
I'm not talking about loudness (it just goes with the territory) I'm talking about sound characteristics that make a windsor V8 sound like a Windsor V8. Especially noteable when comparing an old piece of sht SBC 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. with it's siamesed ex valve/ port config against a typical SBF 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Even the LS sound is affected by the different order 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 (which I personally loved.)

from what you just said sounds like you should know what I'm talking about as to cubes, relation to a daily driver, ect. If not it's all good lol.If your asking me for my opinion on your list of parts and your intended use for your ride, well the parts list is out of my league, I driven enought vehicles to know the difference between a comfortably fast car and a race car driven on the street so my opinion here will not count.

Or put aside my list of parts and give recommendations possibly for an EFI car as a streetcar. Anything upwards of a 408 and rather you think on the street it will be something that I would want.
Ok, first off building an engine with parts like on your list are beyond me, I have no experience in that area. There are people here that have way more experience in that area and I'm sure they will chime in, all I can say is good luck, post some pics as it comes together and I'll see you on the street.
Remember, It ain't any fun unless you beat on it.
Oops, that maybe CT worthy, don't tell noobz.

here,...I'll quote it so there's a copy just incase you decide to edit your's
Ohh.....@Noobz347..... Your new mod wants to change his CT.....
I could change it myself, I just don't want to take the blame.
After all, my idiot light is on.
I actually like my idiot light better.

For a fun street car with A/C,stock block 408 is all you need.
Dart block 427 is only needed if you plan on making serious steam.
Said 427,will break all the stock parts from the flywheel back.

stock parts as in what specifically? I'm thinking you mean the flywheel forward towards the front of the car

You forgot the cheapest stroker...393....don't forget 427, 460, 521...
You've got me researching 460 big block combos...this could be bad for me...and my marriage.
With aluminum heads they weigh about 100lbs more than a stock 302. Some of that can be regained with aftermarket k member, control arms, and front suspension. The brake booster goes bye bye...but I'm sure hydroboost would work.
That thing would put down 500 N/A just with bolt on heads and a cookie cutter cam. The torque would be right at your toes.
My wife would be on my heels with a baseball bat. She's a Ford girl...but I'm sure I have my limits

Do you think a 427 for a weekend driving streetcar is too much for just that? One poster said something about breaking stuff, stock parts from the flywheel back with a 427.

A close friend of mine has a 427 in his cobra. He's had it apart several times. I wouldn't say his set up is " reliable ". It's a strong motor but has had all kinds of problems.
I work hard for mine...and I buy what I want...and she buys sometimes, too.I haven't found that limit yet.
I just aquired another mustang...and if I buy a big block and a c6 trans during this 331 turbo build I'm sure that limit will be reached. Our money is our money... and her money is hers. Lol
oh I feel ya man, gotta do what ya gotta do and make her happy too lol.
Is his car more of a radical racer, track car or does he drive on street a good bit? Yeah that's what I want to steer clear of as well. One thing to build a monster and put a lot of time and effort and money into it, but I sure as heck don't want it to be breaking and breaking and messing around with it all the time. I want to build and get in and enjoy and drive and it last yrs and yrss and years
