If you lived through the 60s it was a pretty bid deal when Ford got PO'd at Ferrari for backing out of a deal to sell their major interest to Ford and Ford took revenge by mounting the 427 FE in the GT-40s and take 1, 2 and 3 at 24 hr Lemans and also dominating for the next couple of years. I have a 427 Corvette also and I might agree it's a bit more sophisticated and even superior in some areas. One is not weight however, the FE is noticeably lighter. But a Cobra is a Cobra and there aren't that many guys around who want a 427 Chevy in their Cobra.
