A turnkey SPF with a small block 427 is the best you're going to do in that price range. FWIW, a turnkey ERA with an FE in it is going to cost you six figures and a year of waiting time. If the differences between an SPF and an ERA are not readily apparent to you, then you should not spend the extra money on an ERA -- an SPF with a small block is a very nice car and will probably make you just as happy.  |

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

Uhhh, their "428 Engine Specs & Prices" page has not been updated in 14 years. Now, maybe prices and iron block availability has remained the same....  |

He/she probably decided to go out and buy a C7 Corvette. I was going to suggest it, but I'm trying to be nicer these days. |

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!

A 408 perhaps but a 427 just is asking too much of a stock block IMO. |

Hit up CobraKiwi ! Craig - 1.434.465.9493
He currently has a few Aluminum builds going on right now for forum members. Car will be made YOUR way, and he uses all the good ingredients! Certainly worth the call to discuss options!!

I follow his threads closely; his work is exquisite. If he could deliver a turnkey of that quality for anywhere near a hundred grand I'd have RodKnock dance the La Cucaracha on one of his weight benches. |

Vintage is top notch. My car has a bunch of one offs due to some serious shoulder surgeries, 14 to be exact and Jay said he could do every modification I wanted. Jay and Brian had not ever tackled some of the modifications before but they came through on their promises. My car has tilt steering because i need the wheel right in my lap because of my shoulders and the regukar steering wheel location wouldnt work for my condition. Power steering was added for obvious resons. We were going to use a Coyote 5.0 with their new paddle shift system but after waitng a year for Ford to release their new transmission we decided to use a modified LS3 motor in it which they have never done before. There were 2 suppliers who were clueless aholes, one who supplied the wrong part all together and another who sent a product that worked horribly. Jay went head to head with both and I have the emails to prove it. The part that was working horribly was just fixed by Jay and Brian and I will be getting my car back tomorrow to test what they have done to fix it. Every obstacle that was throw at Jay and Brian was tackled professionally. Vintage is a FAMILY run business and they are men of their words. My build truely was a first for them and again they did everything that they had promised.
