No such thing as a "Shelby 427" per se. There were not unique casting numbers for the Cobra engines, they were comprised of regular production parts so there is no way to I.D. a 427 used in a Cobra.

But if you can get more from somebody with a "Shelby" pedigree God Bless you...................

Casting codes are pretty generic.

Pictures of the side of the block (showing the cross bolts and the sideoiler passages,screw in or pressed in plugs, top of the block, intake, etc and the date codes on everything would be helpful since no pictures show up in any of your posts at this time.

Perhaps pictures of the car as well?

If you can shoot pictures from underneath of the engine sides they might be able to narrow it down considerably. I would also look for the head and intake part numbers and possibly they may provide a clue. But the motor may also be pieced together with various parts.
