A 390 with the Scat stroker kit also makes sense, and goes about 430 CU. IN. Not too shabby, if I say so myself. Most of us have limitations, but every one of us who has built or bought a Cobra stretched normal limitations just by doing this. I think we are all a cut above the norm.
If I remember correctly, there were more 428 Cobra's produced than 427's.
