What models use a 427 Ford engine?

The Ford 427 cubic inch engine, in its various forms (including the SOHC 427), powered a number of vehicles throughout its production run. Here are some notable examples:

* Ford Galaxie: Various models of the Galaxie, particularly those from the mid-1960s, were available with the 427. This included high-performance versions like the Galaxie 500 and XL. The 427 was a significant option for racing and high-performance enthusiasts.

* Ford Fairlane: Similar to the Galaxie, the Fairlane, especially the Thunderbolt, was a popular recipient of the 427. The Thunderbolt was a purpose-built drag racing car.

* Ford Mustang (some limited production models): While not a common engine for Mustangs, some very limited production, high-performance variants (often considered "factory customs" or built for racing) utilized the 427. This was not a standard production offering.

It's important to note that the exact configurations and specifications of the 427 varied significantly depending on the year, model, and intended use (street, drag racing, NASCAR). Some were more common than others. The availability of the 427 also often depended on the specific options selected at the time of the vehicle's order.
