Hmmm. I know its still too early to tell but i was just thinking. I wonder how much room is actually going to be under that hood in the s/e???? Enough to possibly drop a 426 crate motor in? with minimal engine compartment modification and with some suspension and bell housing modification?? Now theres a thought........the preverbial wolf in sheeps clothing.
Dropping in a crate 392 would probably make more sense, 525hp & 510 ft-lbs of tq with EFI and 540hp & 490 ft-lbs of tq. The 426 crate produces around 465hp & 520ft-lbs of tq. The 392 will fit for sure, the 426 is questionable at this point what would all have to be done. Either way, you would have to drop in a different transmission. There is no way a 42RLE can handle anything of that caliber if it would even mount up.
