I would argue that the 382 stroker engine is the best possible Ford engine you could put in an SPF. Doug Reed and Dennis Olthoff won their class and took third place OVERALL in the One Lap of America with that engine in that car. (With much better tires, though). A 427 side oiler or 460 would be nice to show off sitting still in car shows. But when it comes to actual performance, on the road, the power and weight of the 382 is hard to beat.

The small block "stroker" engine is better on the road course, however even Mr. Olthoff would say the 460 "stroker" powered Cobra would have left him in another zip code on the street. Saying a small block Cobra rules the street and the big block Cobra's rule the drag strip and the car shows is a small block Cobra owner's fantasy...
