Heart say 427 Head says Coyote...need advice

[thorconstr]

I had a 496" aluminum SO with TWM EFI. The engine was done by Keith Craft and was very dependable, but at 717hp it needed a lot more attention than a Coyote. There are quite a few alterations needed to shoehorn a Coyote into a Cobra, but it has been done. I really like the variable cam timing and constant HP from 1800 rpm on. I imagine there are chips out there to make it really nasty. You can drop $35k into a 427 in a heart beat. I'd do a Coyote.

I intend no insult, here. I miss speak all the time myself.

I'm sure a brain fart, but to prevent misleading a newbe, I will correct. Constant Torque, not Hp.

Also, this was meant as a relative term not a precise exact constant torque, if anyone questions this.

You are correct, I was at work rushing a response. Thanks, Al
