FE 427SO or Roush 427SR?

FE all the way!

I drive a small block but my next Cobra would have a big block. I have driven a couple of Cobras with big blocks. Very streetable, very easy to drive, any gear is passing gear.

And the sound!!! Big Block noise! When Lainhart pulls into a car show with his 427 s.o. stroker, everyone stops and watches till he get parked.

Thanks for your input! I can't wait to test drive an BB FE 427SO. I appreciate the history of Carroll Shelby's original so much that I just have to try it. I'm looking forward to heading to Olthoff Racing and check them out. Oh yeah, you are so right nothing sounds like a BB FE 427SO... It's Unreal!!!

Olthoff will likely try to steer you toward a small block.

There is a Cobra get-together in Raleigh this coming Saturday--you would be able to see/hear cars with FEs and small blocks.

Engine choice comes down to personal preference and budget. If you can swing it, an aluminum FE can give you the best of both worlds.

Holman & Moody is not far from you--they could build a mean FE for your SPF.

Hi Stentor. I was out of town this weekend so I wasn't able to attend the Cobra event in Raleigh(: Thanks for the heads up though on everything. I'm hoping there are some Cobra events close to me in Raleigh/Durham or Charlotte surrounding areas this summer that I might be able to attend...

I was in the parking lot of Hardees when Stentor pulled in on Saturday. The sound of an FE big block is unmistakable (especially when it's a 514 CID, all aluminum I believe, built by Keith Craft, with a big honkin' stack of 58 IDA Webers).

I am all for the practicality of a well tuned small block, but I gotta say, after seeing/hearing that monster, it has me reconsidering my future choices. Talk about sights and sounds. Hoo boy. Hope Stentor doesn't mind my shameless plug.
