I get asked all the time, "Is there a 427 in that?" Side emblems "427 Ford Cobra" That is one of the reasons I am going with a CSX with a 427 FE in it. I will feel a little better when they ask.

You would probably feel even better if you were driving it instead of waiting for it too

Worth the wait though.

I still have my Classic Roadster S/C, so I am not going through withdrawl, yet. Still plenty of fun to be had! Besides, I am thinking of adding the cosmetics to make my SB look like a 427! You gotta admit, most of the people that ask, can not tell the difference!

I've driven BDR's with just about all of the engines mentioned and I still like my 347. It doesn't have the torque of the Winsors but I just love to wind it to hell. With the top end port matched, heads ported, and the old sidepipes, it's crisp and instantainious.

If I had to do it again, I'd go big. But only because it will be different.
