Newbie - Superformance Engine Question

[fordracing65]

From a Wake Forrest alum and a land owner in High Point, don't get a Roush motor, you can get the same engine from a builder and save yourself thousands to spend on other things, unless your heart is set on the name, there are builders on here, Blkykins, at B2 motorsports, that will put an engine for you and stand behind his product with A+ customer service, with that said get a Windsor or Fe both make tons of power and fit in a cobra so nice. Have Dennis Olthoff do the install, his family basically designed the SPF and nobody drives one faster than Dennis himself.

Thank you very much for your thoughts. It's nice to speak with someone with the Carolina connection. (I'm a big ACC Basketball Fan). In all of my research on SPF MKIII's, the Olthoff Racing name comes up all the time. I was thrilled when I recently discoved they are located near Charlotte so close to me. I'm going to call Dennis Olthoff for sure regarding the install. So many SPF Cobra's I've seen have Roush 427 SR motors and I was beginning to feel like if I went another route I would be disapointed. I like the idea of having a FE 427 BB but that's because I'm facinated with history of the Carroll Shelby original and the Wow factor associated with BB engines as opossed to SB's. However, I'm no expert so your input is very helpful. Still undecided as far as engine choice.... Thanks again!

I think you would be well served to turn off the computer and go spend a half day in a small block car and a half day in a big block car. Then you will know. Don't confuse 'reality' TV with reality. Start by driving over to see Dennis. Time well spent. All IMHO of course.

Chilibit, I think you're right. I'll never really know what to expect until I drive both big block and small block Cobra. I'll be honest, I've never really driven a car with that much brut power. I can't wait to try test one at Olthoff Racing so I can really understand what it feels like. Thanks for the sage advice....
