Since I blew my engine in my 68 Beaumont this weekend I have a decision to make. Do I try to find a correct 396 and try to redo the car as close to original or do I find another 427 and build it like I want? Since the original engine is long gone, the car will never be a numbers matching car but it would be nice to redo it like it came from the factory. On the other hand, I like the extra power of a slightly modified 427. There are so few Beaumonts left so I will not do anything to change the look of the body or interior. If I go with another 427 I still want the car to look like if came from the factory with the exception of the engine compartment. What are your opinions??
Thanks, James
