Heart say 427 Head says Coyote...need advice

[fastd]

I have the holley sniper on my 351w for about 2 years and so far it has
worked well and much improved every day drivability. It has also been very reliable. Definitely happy that I had it added.

However, I bet you can get some rumble out of a coyote if you want it.

Either way you probably can’t go wrong.

This is what I do know: this is a toy - figure out what you really want from your toy and then get it - otherwise 10 minutes after your first drive you’ll be scheming how to make it better.

More advice: don’t rush your decision - find cars with a coyote/a rumble 427 and go see it and ask to go for a ride. Searching with real intent and ability to buy is a lot of fun.

Great advice here from fastd … do your homework. Go to local cars & coffee or see if there are any Club Cobra members that are local and check out their cars and ask questions. You will no doubt meet some very nice people and learn a lot along the way. You will figure out pretty quickly what you do like and just as important, what you do not like.

I have a professionally built 302 with an old school Holly 650 w/manual choke, that was professionally setup and the car runs great, very responsive and does not overheat. There are a lot of factors that go into drivability, transmission gearing & rear axle ratio to name a few. The sound of the motor has a lot to do with the compression ratio, camshaft, intake & exhaust. The sound of a Cobra is wonderful part of the overall experience.

My advice is to buy / build the car of your dreams, not someone else’s. What you think & want is all that really matters, it's your Cobra.
