Seven Liters (427 cubic inches) and 425 hp was the pinnacle for advertising for several years in the 1960s. Comparing a '63 409-425hp, a '63 Ford 427-425hp, a Pontiac 421-420hp, or a '62 MoPar 413-420hp in their original form to the later Hemis, High Rise Fords, or Chev L72/L88/ZL1, you know that something is just not right with the ratings.
