My interpretation of that says that all else isn't equal because I (and others) wouldn't even consider installing a SBF or 385 in a 427 Cobra. No way. No how.

So what you are saying is that Ford built no other engines?
I don't remember the OP saying "for a cobra" or any other vehicle. Don't get me wrong here, I love FE's and am working on putting a nice aluminum tunnelport in my car someday but the question was pretty clear and I believe the OP was looking for non biased answers. In fact this thread is so old he probably isn't around anymore.
This is a Cobra Forum and nearly everything folks write here is biased opinion(s). I thought I would add mine. The OP's question, to me, is left up to the interpretation of the reader.

A 427 Cobra always requires an FE. This is my biased opinion.
