Talking on GT5-S and 351 , you know that several GT5-S are original delivered from DT factory whit a Windsor 351 ?
a Windsor is low weight engine easy to stroke to 427Ci.

Engine moders, exactly my point. Lets see a well built stroker (or engine swap) pass the stiff CA required visual inspection and emissions sniff smog test. So I was really talking about California in my comments. May be possible to do it with a hefty thumpin stroker with all the smog gismos still in tact, but I would think probably pretty rare. Anyone? For the pre 1975 smog required cars here in CA I would rather just dump in my 417 Fontana or 427 Fontana FI than deal with the smog fools of having those engines in a real GT5S. Those with real GT5S & hefty modified engines here in CA better know the judge real well in getting it out of impound or pulled from the CA crushing machine...part joke part not in that comment. However I had a 1985 Maserati Biturbo ready for the crusher for not passing smog with the CA regulators in several attempts but was able to sell it to a Florida dude, no smog requirements there.
