It would be a kick in the pants, that's for sure. Power levels from a stroked Windsor are nothing short of awesome.

If I were going to sell out and start new with a Dart block, I wouldn't stop at 427ci. I'd use the big bore, and as long of a stroke as I could stuff in there. A 4.125" bore with a 4.25" stroke would be 454-460ci and would have as much power and torque as you could shake a stick at. A 427W isn't nothing special to me for a Cobra, just because it's not anything near an FE. From my experiences, you tell them it's a 427, then they look for themselves, and then ask why you didn't go with an FE.
