Actually, that's not a bad price for a bare block. Get a production facility to make a few thousand of these and the cost comes down a little. If GM produced a 427 engine for a production car, could it meet CAFE standards? Would cylinder deactivation at cruise be enough?

Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.
