So MJJ, your head says Coyote but your heart says "351/427". You're obviously aware that the Coyotes were not fitted to the original series of (427) Cobras, but neither were the "351/427" engines. These are from the Windsor family of small block Ford engines. I do understand the reason for your indecision though. Both are good engines; if your absolute priority isn't period correctness (ie an FE), then the Coyote might be your better choice, solely because it is a factory built engine of quite recent design, and as such will be powerful, economical to run and service, and will probably never require a strip down in its first owner's use. That's my opinion only, and with Cobras, emotion very often comes into the equation....so maybe forget the reasoning, and ask yourself "which one do I
really want?" Go with that.
Cheers,
Glen
