You know how much it's going to cost you to get the correct motor under your hood? For what, so some yahoo at a car show will be more impressed with it cause it has a 427. I fully understand the desire for originality, but to me that means you allready have a ladder frame, top loader, jag rearend, halibrand knockoffs, smith's gages, etc. If you have bolt on wheels, a live rear axle, autometer gages; why bother. Enjoy that car for what it is, and if you need more originality, sell it and but another cobra which is more original in all aspects.
Selling a slightly used hot rod motor always occurs at a large financial loss, just keep it for another project later.
