I realize that by posting on the FE forum that maybe on some level I have already decided what to do, but for the record, here is the question: Do I put a 427 in my new cobra or a super stroked out 351w? I have an option on a standard bore 427 sideoiler with MR heads, new SS valves and lunati double springs. The crank is .020/.020 with Lemans rods and stock dome pistons. The intake is an edelbrock 427( is that good?)The motor is freshly rebuilt but I have not met the Mechanic. I expect to take it apart and have someone go through it. All said and done, I will have between 8k and 9k in the motor. For that much money I could get a tremendous motor.

The car is a new Huricaine and it will be built to look as close to an original as it can be. I also race as many miles as I cruise around. I am a realist, more than 450HP on a road course could be overkill.

Does this price seem OK and how do you like your FE? Has anyone had both?
