I'll comment on the small block stroker 427W vs FE 427. Performance wise the small block is awesome and could give the FE a run for it's money on the track and in most cases cost less to build. Most of the Cobra wins in the 60s were small blocks as by time Carroll got around to putting 427s in the cars they moved to the Daytona Coupes and GT40s. I have bin one of the biggest small block promoters over the years but have to admitt the FE does looks better in the car. Like every thing on these cars it comes down to personal preference which is what is neat about Cobras today vs the the past. Build it the way you want it as it is yours to enjoy! I'm still on the fence myself but pretty sure my new Hurricane (HM2003) will have a FE in it...
