My (iron) big block ERA has 52% of its weight on the rear wheels and is very comfortable, and temps stay at 170/180 degrees. While only about 400/425 HP, that's plenty for spirited driving and going on all-day runs around the state. Still quicker than most anything on the road, and still gets almost 15 MPG. I'm satisfied.
IMO, a 427 Cobra should have a big block FE.
