Just for posterity, the tunnel port ford 427 was NEVER offered in any vehicle at any time, ever. It was over the counter ONLY, and mostly for the NASCAR crowd. So if any engine should have been deemed a ringer, how'bout one that never came in any car ever.

Also, I worked most of my life in underwater production. Every thing I've ever shot has had some unrealistic spin put on it by, post production, or an executive in the production. Unfortunately in most cases (not saying this is the case here) the people in post don't know the first thing about the subject matter. It's just a fact of TV. Two of the most discrediting things said about anything are; I saw it on TV, or read it on the internet. Enjoy it for what is, have a good laugh, and be glad YOU guys know something the VAST majority of viewers don't.
