Bill Thanks for your reply. Did you also buy the air box and was it difficult in getting it to fit under the hood? What computor equipt did you buy and what was its cost? Did you get the 56 or 58 mm models? The last 427 FE I had was in a Ford Custom (post galaxie) in 1968. It was barely streetable. It always smelled of fuel and loaded up if it idled more than a few minutes. The floats in those old carbs stuck frequently but it ran like a banshee when running right. I wanted this Hi Tech Aluminum Cobra to do the same but wanted it to have street manners. Can you send me your audio file of it running? Thanks, I appreciate your comments. Before spending 4K+ I wanted to make sure of these things.
Michael
