Dang, I just spent some time on the hillbankusa.com site. I don't see how you can get a new SPF now with a small block 427 for anywhere near $70k.%/

Jay, We do not have a defined "territory" as such and I don't market at Barrett-Jackson type events as the cost to benefit ratio does not work for us. We leave that to you high roller, shooter types! |

BTW, + 1 on going with VMS for a new build. |
The sad thing...
The sad thing is that the price point for a nice turnkey SPF, ERA, KMS, SAI has moved well north of six figures. This puts the new turnkey Cobra hobby out of reach for most guys and, unfortunately, the subset of those buyers that were also wrenching on cars is becoming smaller and smaller (because if you were spending your time working on cars in high school you have a smaller probability of being able to piss away a hundred grand on a toy 30 years later). The result is that the car gets bought, parked in a garage, a speck of dirt clogs the carb, and the car rarely, if ever gets driven, and then gets sold to a new guy that does the same thing. :(

I managed to find some actual Superformance package pricing online so here's something to reference: http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/ce4c70...db04220d96.pdf
The only reason I make a point of this is because the OP set the ceiling at $70k. |
We can supply a base MK III with a Windsor 427 and new TKO 600 for $71,500. The chassis will have the stainless header tank and tonneau cover. The SPF comes with a limited slip, heater/defroster and leather seats which may be optional on some other cars. All of the standard goodies like 15" knock-off wheels, Wilwood brakes with booster, etc. And that is choice of "Roadster" (undercar exhaust, no roll bar, etc.) or "S/C"(sidepipes, roll bar, etc.)
The engine is a Windsor stroker 495 HP aluminum head single 4 BBL with aluminum bellhousing (steel is $300 extra) and professionally installed by a third party shop. And note that the OP has not posted or responded to any of the posts regarding this so we are most likely in mental masturbation mode here. |
Just did some figuring and we can supply a 428 FE dressed as a 427 for that same price. Look here: Southern Automotive

Or on a Ford Racing block for additional cost. There are a lot of "seasoned" Windsor blocks running around in the mid to high 400 HP range and if you don't need to spin 7500 RPM they will work well enough.
I know of many factory blocks in Cobras and other cars that do a fine job of what is asked by reasonable power levels. I still love the guys with 600++++HP in their Cobra and BFG TAs on the wheels!:LOL: |
