Not Ranked
Coyled,
I would say a FE with any head.
A427SC, Don, I don't know him, but he runs the Northeast Challange and other track events, and he routinely is the fastest or in the top several against all other cobra's. He runs an ERA, which is one of the heaviest replica chassis's, and runs a 427 with I think iron heads, and still is faster than many other cobra's with lighter chassis's as well as them also running 302's and 351 based engines, even with supercharger's. So, if any cobra would be considered a "tank", I think his would be. Of course, he probably knows how to drive and "set up" his car correctly.
Actually, from what I've seen, I think there are many more important factors then just the weight difference between a FE and sb ford that determines how fast a car/driver are, and only at the professional racing level would I think it would make a meaningful difference.

The crowd was jumping up and down as he stunned the Chevrolet drivers by easily passing the entire field to finish second behind MacDonald's other team Cobra. The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
