Thanks for the feedback. I do like the sbc and have a lot of experience with them,but there is something about that 427 sitting in the engine compartment.
Thanks again!

Yes, that's why it was called a 427 Cobra instead of a 350 Cobra. Here, let me help you:

How about a 240 Cobra or a 260 Cobra or a 289 Cobra or a 390 cobra or a 428 Cobra or a 427 T.O or 427 S.O !!!! Just in the Ford world there were a lot of choices. But here we go again " IT IS NOT A REAL COBRA... IT IS A HOT ROD THAT HAS THE COBRA SHAPE" That being said, today with parts availability cost, performance and durability, Chevy is a better choice. But if you are a Ford guy go Blue Oval and enjoy the ride!!! Long live the BowTie COBRA

WOW!!! It warms my heart to see that somebody from the Ford only in Cobra crowd has a sense of humor.
