Thanks for the reply.

I will be doing big miles. At the moment I am driving my GT40 quite a lot. So the Cobra will half that??

I have had some feedback about building the 427 for economy driving and will ask my engine builder to go down this path.

Whilst there will be a reduction in horsepower I feel 600HP starting horsepower can take a little bit of a reduction hit.

Like you I want the 427 in particular

There as been some good feedback on All Cobra Talk under my Thread - Left Field Question.

Ward again thanks for your feedback.

The next question I will post will be more specific now I now it is realistic and achievable to build for economy. Perhaps give me cam, tune specs. etc. will make up the basis of my next question. No doubt others have built big block economical motors.

Cheers

Bernie
