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!!

Mike.

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.

I'm pretty sure he has a "no beige" Cobra rule though, no matter how much money you throw at him.

Walt at Connecticut Custom had the same rule. But I threw enough at him that he agreed to break the rule "just this once."
