Bossman, wouldn't a boss 302 would be better with a 428cj or boss 429 ?

Oh, I bet I'll get an ear full !
I've never seen any performance figures of the re-engined birds, wonder if it's higher ?
The fact is, a sakae radial must be astronomical to support, custom parts galore, like a gurney eagle small block F1 motor.
I'm happy to see a real zero, those hollywood types are, well, hmmmm, well, well, would look nicer as what they started out with, a AT-6/SNJ/Harvard.
I suppose they have their place, and really, 4 radials buzzing over your house beats just about everything but a merlin powered spit singing past !
