Default 427 vs. 429/460
Hey, you guys have an awesome site here. I don't own a Cobra (yet) and have never owned a Ford-powered anything so I'm truly a novice in the Cobra world. The fact is, I'm a lot more familiar with big-block Chevies as I've built a few of them.

Can you guys tell me what the advantages (and disadvantages) of each of the big-block Ford motors are? I assume the 427 side oiler would be the most expensive, but is it also the most desirable from a performance standpoint for any reason? And how about the variations on the 429 (460, 514 stroker, etc.) what are the strengths and weaknesses of each? Thanks; I hope your replies will get me started in the right direction. I'd appreciate any recommendations for good reading (besides your web site) on this subject as well!
