Thanks for you comments. I've heard a lot about the heat from BB 427's. I've often wondered in you can special order extra insulation between you and the cockpit firewall when you speak with SPF to cut down on the heat in the cockpit? At any rate, I am going to test drive both BB & SB SPF Cobra's to check it out. I do know this, I plan to dive my SPF MKIII everyday when I get it so I don't want to over heated in the cockpit. I've dreamed of a car like this my whole life so I want to enjoy every ride! Thanks again...

I second the Roush!
Mine has 12,000 miles. Pulls like a freight train and can be as docile as a 302, unless you push down on the gas pedal. And heat is not a concern.
Plus, to the masses, when you raise the hood, its an engine most everyone has heard of.

They only know its a Roush if you use the valve covers, those are some expensive valve covers. |

Thanks Jim! I've seen online and heard so many good things about the Roush 427SRTW from SPF owners. I love the SPF product and hopefully sometime this year I'll finally be able to take my test at Olthoff Racing here in NC. When I get my MKIII I plan to drive it all the way to CA and then drive up and down PCH like I used to in the 90's. Man, I really miss those West Coast drives. Thanks again for your input...

Heard of the number, yes, but it will never be a big block. When somebody asks what engine, I bet you say 427, not 427 small block.

Olthoff can add extra insulation--during the install--to help mitigate cockpit heat.
With a name like "Cobra Braggin," one could posit that you'd be inclined to go with an FE big block.  |
