PI x radious squared x stroke length (volume of a cylinder) x 8 (the number of cylinders) will be the answer HOSS (new member) is looking for.

according to june hot rod issue the 4.23 bore and the 3.78 stroke yielded a 424.9 bore .. but ford called it a 427 because that was the nascar limit at the time .. dropping in a 3.98 crank made a 454 which was also claimed as 427 for class drag racing .. the original lemans winning GT is in the henry ford museum but without the original engine .. it is rumored to have been put in an excutives mustang as when they tested the engine after the race they found it made 7 more horsepower than when they installed it .. the 3251 mile race just broke the motor in properly

i`m getting good at answering my own questions.. i have never seen a " standard " 40 ford restored .. i have seen one all original ... the standard 40 only had one drivers side windshield wiper and one driver side brake lite.. the deluxe for $ 12 more came with both sides ... there may be more difs but thats all i know about .. i see if i can come up with a question even too tuff for me
