Interesting that all the goals of the latest wiz bang dougee whaut floppers is measured on a Viper scale. Yet the throwback standard was established in the 50's by Allards, Listers and then later by the Shelbys cars.
You guys are starting to turn this tread into a SB. vs BB. thread, abid a high tech version of it. So for your enjoyment I ask you a question. Has any of you guys REALLY looked a Chevys crate Z06 engine? MUCH more power with no blower, and tractable to boot, at only 400lbs weight. Images of a 2000lb. Cobra dance in my head with a tweek'ed or even a blown version of it. To hell with brand loyality. Fords never gave me anything. But back to reality. I agree with Fixit when he says there really isn't anything new under the sun with smallblocks. With the availability of (relatively) inexpensive Dart aluminum 351 blocks out there, it beats the tar out of me why anyone would even consider any other all out aluminum small block design in a Cobra. (Note I said "all out")
A 427SO/FE is another thing all together however.
