That engine is much like the Corvette ZR1 from 1990-1995...a 4-cam injected Indy style V8 built by Mercury Marine for GM. It has held up well and many are running well with 100,000+ miles.
Chevrolet lost big bucks with every car sold.

Cobra Make, Engine: Classic 427, I purchased it May 2005, the kit was bought in 1991. I'm not sure when it was completed! Installed GMPP Connect & Cruise 376/525 with T-56 S/M 3.55 gears about 2 years ago! 1/4 miles is with old setup!

Well yes I guess that's right, drive around, around and around for 500 miles at 220+ mph and it needs a rebuild, duh! For real, in the state of tune they are in I think they would last better than most high performance engines at that power level. I would like to have one on the Autobahn, suprise, suprise Mr Porsche! Twist it up to 8,000 and hold it there for 20 miles, I don't think it would even break a sweat! But I would still take the V-12!
