Cobra Automotive - Wallingford, CT, 203-284-3863. Jim Inglese and Curt Vogt - A prominent local builder of small blocks.
Danbury Competition Engines, Danbury, CT 203-748-7356 - Joe Lapine - A local (to us) engine builder who specializes in Ford small block and 390/428 engines. He doesn't have any original 427 cores that he's willing to part with, but will put together a good '27 with your core or a new aluminum block.

Dove Manufacturing, Cleveland, OH - 440-236-5139 - Manufactures complete engines, aluminum blocks, heads and water pumps. Our experience with the aluminum parts has been mixed. You are better off buying a complete engine that has been tested rather than individual parts.

The Engine Factory supplies several variations of the Ford small block and FE. We have no direct experience with them, but the reviews on Club Cobra have been very good..
